I'm A Long Way From Home

Porter Wagoner · Confessions of a Broken Man (RCA Victor) [1966]

(Hank Cochran)



I'm a long way from home a long way from home

Lord please watch over me.



I just can't get a custom to the hunger

No one seems to notice that I'm cold

This life's not making me no younger

I wish I'd stayed at home like I was told.



But I'm a long way from home

I've slept last night in a public mission

You can't imagine well you just can't imagine how I felt

The things that happened seemed like fiction

Someone even tried to steal my shoes while I slept.



I'm a long way from home and so all alone

And scared like I thought I never would be

I'm a long way from home everything is wrong

Lord please watch over me...
