There's a lonesome sound
From a distant train
Moving north
Through the driving rain
I haven't seen her face
For many days
But I know
It won't ever change
Cos I left this town
To find a place
Where the weak don't fail
But all I found was wreckage
On a whiskey trail
CHORUS:
I've come a long way
I've come a long way
And you know that I'm here to stay
Cos I'm tired of being alone
I've come a long way
I've come a long long way
And you're never turning me away
So you'd better take me home
Rode the devil's train
So many nights
Saw love and anger
And endless spite
But you knew I'd always
Wind up here
Where I belong
And it may wrong
But this feeling's strong
And your heart will always find me
At the end of that road
Can't drag the past behind me
Everywhere I go
REPEAT CHORUS
Time to move it on back now
Got no time to waste now
I'm coming home
Coming home, coming home
I've come a long way
I've come a long way
And you know that I'm here to stay
