Long Way From Home

I'm the first one up in the morning

I'm the last one to go to bed

Working all day from sun to sun

Got no place to lay my head

I'm a poor boy

Long, long way from home

Like a bird with a broken wing

Like a window with a broken pane

I'm like a fisherman without a boat

I'm like a rat without a home

See, I'm a poor boy

I'm a long, long way from home

Trying to find a way to get myself off the ground

The job I have done put me down

Trying to find a way to get myself back in the door

I'm all dressed up and no place to go

I'm trying to find a way to get myself off the ground

The baby that I love done put me down

Trying to find a way to get myself back in the door

I'm all dressed up and no place to go

I'm like a child ain't got no mother

Like a pig ain't got no cover

Like a fish ain't got no fins

I'm like a fox don't have a den

See, I'm a poor boy

And I'm a long, long way from home

I'm a poor boy

Long, long way from home

Tell you, I'm a poor boy

And a long, long way from home
