A Long Way To Get

I've got a mountain to climb before I get over this hill
I've got the world to unwind before I ever sit still
I've got a hard row to hoe before my seed is sown
I've got a long way to get before I get back home

Well I got so much to put down before that's all she wrote
I've got so much to give for my heart ain't so broke
I've got to find myself before I can ever be alone
I've got a long way to get before I get back home

There's an ocean of reason that I cannot explain
There's the weight of the world like a ball and a chain
There's a black hole inside that I've filled up with stones
I got a long way to get before I get back home
I've got a long way to get before I get back home

And there's a man I've never met before, who looks a lot like me
And there's a little place called heaven that I'll probably never see
And there's a thing called peace of mind that I have never known
I've got a long way to get before I get back home
I've got a long way to get before I get back home
I've got a long way to get before I get back home
