Tracing my steps when the season’s right

Head out the window just to see the sight of my life passing me by

How beautiful the land and sky

Brought my childhood dreams alive

When I laughed at the thought of ever leaving

It’s been a long time since I’ve been home

It’s been a long, long, long, long time

Winding down the road just because I could

The bad mouthed boy from the neighborhood

I would go on to earn that nickname

A hand full of trouble and a rocker’s son

A little bit of fun never hurt no one

And I’d run from the thought of ever leaving

It’s been a long time since I’ve been home

It’s been a long, long, long, long time

It’s been a long time since I’ve been home

It’s been a long, long, long, long time

Looking back on my yesterdays

It’s easy to see why I felt that way

And today I have rediscovered

It’s the simple things that we have in life

Like the air we breathe and the stars up high

They’ll be my excuse for coming back

It’s been a long time since I’ve been home

It’s been a long, long, long, long time

It’s been a long time since I’ve been home

It’s been a long, long, long, long time

It’s been a long time since I’ve been home

It’s been a long, long, long, long time

It’s been so long, way too long

My Momma tells me it’s been a long time

Since I’ve been home
