I'm a Long Way From Home

(Hank Cochran)



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

Someone please watch over me.



Can't get a custom to the hunger

No one seems to notice that I'm cold

This kind of life ain't making me much younger

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



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

Someone please watch over me.



For the first time last night I slept in a public mission

And you just can't imagine how I felt

'Cause things that happened seemed like fiction

You know someone even tried to steal my shoes while I slept.



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

And I'm afraid like I'd thought I'd never be

I'm a long way from home everything is wrong

Someone please watch over me...
