Lyrics
The only time I feel alright
Is when I'm into smoking weed
It eases all the pain inside
I never out my thinking
It's a long, long way from Jamaica to here
It's a long, long way from Jamaica to here
Oh, it's a long, long way, it gets further day by day
It's a long, long way from Jamaica to here
Friday night comes around and
I'm only in to smoking weed
Mother would like a letter home
But I'm too tired for writing
It's a long, long way from Jamaica to here
It's a long, long way from Jamaica to here
Oh, it's a long, long way, it gets further day by day
It's a long, long way from Jamaica to here
It always breaks my heart when I think of calling
Tell her I'll be coming home with a pocket full of weed
(A lot of sensi) ayy
It's a long, long way from Jamaica to here
It's a long, long way from Jamaica to here
It's a long, long way, it gets further day by day
It's a long, long way from Jamaica to here
It's a long, long way from Jamaica to here
It's a long, long way from Jamaica to here
It's a long, long way, further day by day
It's a long, long way from Jamaica to here
