John Hunter Combo - It's a Long Way Home Lyrics

It's a long, long way from here to the streets of my home town
It seems it's getting further ev'ry day
And sunset finds me here down at the station
Wond'ring why I ever came away

Ev'ry night I feel so downright lonely
Joe the barman sets his watch by me
Ev'ry morning after finds me weeping
For dear old friends back home where I should be

And it's a long, long way from here to the streets of Melbourne
It seems it's getting further ev'ry day
So sunset finds me here down at the station
Wond'ring why I ever came away

So many times I've promised I'll make it home someday
But it could be the death of me might be the only way

If I could only scrape the fare together
I'd board that hometown train without delay
I'd be so glad to roam those hometown alleys
I'd set down roots never more to stray

It's a long way from here to the streets of Melbourne
It seems it's getting further ev'ry day
So sunset finds me here down at the station
Wond'ring why I ever came away
