I was born one rainy morning in a little house across town
|
Daddy liked to roam leave Mama alone
|
She just couldn't tie him down
|
He liked his gamblin and whiskey
|
And mama just liked to cook and sew
|
It made me a man before my time
|
I felt many a cold wind blow
|
|
Worked real hard most all of my life
|
Bought a farmhouse out in the sticks
|
Set by the fire most every night
|
Working on my guitar licks
|
Before too long I was on my way
|
Playing from town to town
|
I guess I'm a little like Daddy was
|
Gotta keep on moving around
|
|
|
Chorus:
|
>This journey takes me far away from home
|
Sometimes it makes me feel so alone
|
So alone
|
|
Now I look back on yesterday
|
Wondering what I'd done
|
Did I help somebody along the way
|
Or did I just look out for number one
|
I know I can't change a thing
|
So don't put me down
|
Cause I didn't cling to your heart
|
Oh I feel like dying when we're apart
|
|
|
Chorus:
|
This journey takes me far away from home
|
With nothing left to hold on to
|
But a voice from the telephone
|
It's taken me away from every love I've ever known
|
Sometimes it makes me feel so alone
|
So alone
|
