Bobby Rush & Kenny Wayne Shepherd - Long Way From Home Lyrics

Bobby Rush & Kenny Wayne Shepherd Lyrics

"Long Way From Home"

I'm the first one up in the morning
I'm the last one to go to bed
Working all day from sun to sun
Got no place to lay my head

I'm a poor boy
Long, long way from home

Like a bird with a broken wing
Like a window with a broken pane
I'm like a fisherman without a boat
I'm like a rat without a home

See, I'm a poor boy
I'm a long, long way from home

Trying to find a way to get myself off the ground
The job I have done put me down
Trying to find a way to get myself back in the door
I'm all dressed up and no place to go

I'm trying to find a way to get myself off the ground
The baby that I love done put me down
Trying to find a way to get myself back in the door
I'm all dressed up and no place to go

I'm like a child ain't got no mother
Like a pig ain't got no cover
Like a fish ain't got no fins
I'm like a fox don't have a den

See, I'm a poor boy
And I'm a long, long way from home
I'm a poor boy
Long, long way from home

Tell you, I'm a poor boy
And a long, long way from home
