Bobby Bare – I'm A Long Way From Home lyrics

(Hank Cochran)

I'm a long way from home and so all alone
Someone please watch over me.

Can't get a custom to the hunger
No one seems to notice that I'm cold
This kind of life ain't making me much younger
How I wish I'd stayed at home like I was told.

I'm a long way from home and so all alone
Someone please watch over me.

For the first time last night I slept in a public mission
And you just can't imagine how I felt
'Cause things that happened seemed like fiction
You know someone even tried to steal my shoes while I slept.

I'm a long way from home and so all alone
And I'm afraid like I'd thought I'd never be
I'm a long way from home everything is wrong
Someone please watch over me...
