American Authors · Oh, What A Life [2014]

I've got these letters tattooed on my arm

That remind me of each second of where I come from

And the long hard road to guide me back home



Back to my momma, who raised me up right

And back to my lady I held every night

Its a long, hard road trying to get home



I've been gone, now for too long



I'm not trying to stop a hurricane

I'm not trying to shake the ground below

I'm just trying to find a way, to make it back home

I'm not trying to point the ocean waves

I'm not trying to over-throw the throne

I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home

I'm just trying to get home



I've got this image engraved in my mind

Of a light that I had, in a whole different time

It still breathes and lives at the edge of the road



I've seen mountains and valleys through my missing days

But I never once parted with how you begged me to stay

I will run down that long hard and treacherous road to get home



I'm not trying to stop a hurricane

I'm not trying to shake the ground below

I'm just trying to find a way to make it bach home

I'm not trying to point the ocean waves

I'm not trying to over-throw the throne

I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home

I'm just trying to get home



I've been gone for so long

But my heart, it carries on

As it pounds, like a drum

On my journey back home

I've been gone for so long

But my heart, it carries on

I won't give up



I'm not trying to stop a hurricane

I'm not trying to shake the ground below

I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home

I'm not trying to point the ocean waves

I'm not trying to over-throw the throne

I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home

I'm just trying to get home



I'm just trying to get home
