Artist/Band: Shooter Jennings
Lyrics for Song: I'm A Long Way From Home
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Shooter Jennings



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

Homesick, like I never thought I'd be

I'm a long way from home and everything is wrong

Someone please watch over me



I'm not accustomed to these feelings

The loneliness is burning in my soul

Sometimes the mind is so misleading

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



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

Homesick, like I never thought I'd be

I'm a long way from home and everything is wrong

Someone please watch over me



When Waylon did it, he sang this verse



'I wish I knew the force within me

That keeps my mind out of control

What makes me reach for things that I can't see

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


I'm A Long Way From Home

Shooter Jennings delivers a soulful country-rock ballad that captures the ache of distance and longing. Recorded in the mid-2000s, the track exemplifies his signature blend of traditional country instrumentation and modern rock energy, characteristic of his work during the peak of his solo career. The song reflects themes of displacement and the emotional toll of being far from one's roots, a recurring motif in Jennings' discography that resonates with listeners who have experienced similar journeys. With its driving rhythm and Jennings' emotive vocal delivery, the recording stands as a poignant statement on the human condition, fitting seamlessly within the broader landscape of contemporary outlaw country music.
