I'm a Long Way from Home

Waylon Jennings · Destiny's Child [Bear Family] [1999]

(Hank Cochran)



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, everything is wrong

Someone please watch over me.



I'm not acustomed to this feeling

Loneliness is burning in my soul

Sometimes the mind is so mistreating

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



--- Instrumental ---



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 and so all alone

Homesick like I never thought I'd be

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

Someone please watch over me...
