The Long Way Home

Sometimes I love the road --
 and sometimes I'm just tired
 I can feel like God's own chosen --
 then long for a nice, warm fire
 Sometimes I'm full of passion
 for the things that I believe
 Sometimes I wonder whatever happened
 to that young girl that was me
 Oh, oh rock me easy, I'm takin' the long way home
 Oh, oh, rock me easy, I'm takin' the long way home
 Never knew it would take so long
 to get back to where I started
 Never knew how the road would bend
 and leave me broken-hearted
 Never planned the route too well,
 just followed each day's yearnings
 Always seemed a rocky road
 that set my soul to burning
 See Old Crow sitting there,
 he's laughin' every step I take
 He knows how the wind can take you
 and give your soul a shake
 Spin ya 'round & upside down,
 and soon your dreams are scattered.
 Makes me want to hold my ground
 and find the roots that matter.
 Sometimes, you know, I wonder
 whatever made me step out here
 Those nights when the moon is dark
 and there's nobody here but Fear
 Cause it's a cold and lonely road,
 if you think you're all alone
 Then I think of you, my friend,
 in my heart and in my bones
