I’ve got these letters tattooed on my arm

That remind me each second

Of where I come from

And the long hard road

To guide me back home

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Back to my mama who raised me up right

And back to my lady I held every night

It’s 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 part the ocean waves

I’m not trying to overthrow the throne

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

I’m just trying to get home

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

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 end 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 back home

I’m not trying to part the ocean waves

I’m not trying to overthrow the throne

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

I’m just trying to get home

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

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 part the ocean waves

I’m not trying to overthrow the throne

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

I’m just trying to get home

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

I’m just trying to get home
