Long, Long Way from Home

Well she got herself a shovel Cuz she can't afford the fare And she dug a hole to China Till she finally wound up there She's got a dollar thirty And her clothes are real dirty She'll turn a trick or two And she'll be lookin' brand new Nobody told her that it's cold out there Livin' in the streets of L.A. She tried to make some honest dough But nobody pays her She left her job uptown To be a Hollywood grazer Nobody seems to care Oh baby don't you know that it's burnin' While the whole damn world is turnin' Oh my baby, yeah my baby she's learnin' While the whole damn world is turnin' Oh, don't you know that she's learnin' Ah, yeah! Oh don't you know that heaven is burnin' While the whole damn world is turnin' She knows what she wants She knows what she needs And she don't give a damn She's a long, long way from home From home Every day that passes She cashes in and dances A Shanghai slinger With dreams of bein' a singer A Hong Kong looker A potential hooker She don't need no thrill She's got to pay the bills Nobody told her that it's cold out there Livin' in the streets of L.A. Talkin' 'bout a Chi-town lady Her future days are shady A wink and a smile Will get her by a while Nobody seems to care Oh baby don't you know that it's burnin' While the whole damn world is turnin' Oh my baby, yeah my baby she's learnin' While the whole damn world is turnin' Oh, don't you know that she's learnin' Oh yeah! Oh can't cha see that heaven is burnin' While the whole damn world is turnin' She knows what she wants And she knows what she needs And she don't give a damn She's a long, long way from home From home From home She's such a, such a long way Oh so young and pretty Ahh, she likes the city Oh it's such a pity Yeah she's such a long way Oh Oh Oh Ahh Oh yeah! Yow! Yow! Yow! Oh no, no don't you know Long from home She's such a, such a long way Long way from home She's such a long, long way Such a long way You know she long, long way Long, long way She's such a long, long way Long, long way She's such a long, long way Long, long way
