Artist/Band: Cowboy Junkies
Lyrics for Song: No Long Journey Home
Lyrics for Album: One Soul Now [2004]



This ain't no long journey home.

This ain't no trip across the tracks.

This ain't no dead end street

there ain't no turning back.

This ain't no long journey home.



Another tale about an aging man,

a tried but twisted plot,

another hero finding out that he's not.

Act one we watch the onion peel.

Act two the tragic flaw revealed.

In three we close our eyes as his fate's sealed.



This ain't no long journey home.



Here's a story about a once young girl

whose life has turned to rot.

Thought she found her dreams but she had not.

Act one we see her bold and strong.

Act two we watch her fumble along.

In three we close our eyes as all goes wrong.



This ain't no long journey home.

This ain't no trip across the tracks.

This ain't no dead end street

there ain't no turning back.

This ain't no long journey home.



A cautionary tale for all who come this way,



A warning writ in water.

Act one you'll see it all so clear.

Act two you'll watch it disappear.

In three open your eyes and stare down your fears.



'Cause this ain't no long journey home.

This ain't no long journey home.

This ain't no long journey home.

This ain't no long journey home.
