I've got a mountain to climb before i get over this hill
i've got a 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

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

and theres an ocean of reason that i cant explain
and theres the weight of the world like a ball and chain
and theres a big black hole inside me that i've fulled up with stones
i got a long way to get before i get back home

theres a man ive never met who looks a lot like me
theres a little place called heaven that i'll probably never see
theres a thing called peace of mind that i have never known
ive got a long way to get before i get back home
