I've got these letters
tattooed on my arm
that remind me each second
of where I come from
and the long hard road
to guide me back home
back to my mama
who raised me up right
and back to my lady
who I held every night
it's a long hard road
trying to get home
I'd been gone now
for too long
[Chorus:]
I'm not trying to stop a hurricane
I'm not trying to shake the ground below
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
I'm not trying to part the ocean waves
I'm not trying to overthrow the throne
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
I'm just trying to get home
I've got this image engraved in my mind
of a light that I had in a whole different time
it still breathes
and lives
at the end of the road
I've seen mountains and valleys
through my missing days
but I never once parted
with how you begged me to stay
I will run down that long hard and treacherous road
to get home
[Chorus]
I've been gone for so long
but my heart it carries on
as it pounds like a drum
on my journey back home
I've been gone for so long
but my heart it carries on
I won't give up
[Chorus]
I'm just trying to get home [X2]
