"Long Way To Get" Lyrics

I've got a mountain to climb 'fore a I get over this hill
I've got the world to unwide 'fore I ever sit still
I've got a hard row to hoe before my seed is sown
I've got a long way to get before I get back home.

I've got so much to put down before that's all she wrote
I've got so much to give for my heart ain't so broke
I've got to find myself before I can ever be alone
I've got a long way to get before I get back home

There's an ocean of reason that I cannot explain
There's the weight of the world like a ball and a chain
There's a black hole inside that I fill up with stones
I've got a long way to get before I get back home
I've got a long way to get before I get back home

There's a man I've never met before who looks a lot like me
And there's this little place called heaven that I hope to get to see
There's this thing called peace of mind I have never known
I've got a long way to get before I get back home
I've got a long way to get before I get back home
I've got a long way to get before I get back home
