I've got these letters tattooed on my arm

That remind me each second of where I come from

And the long hard road to get me back home

Back to my mama who raised me up right

And back to my lady who I held every night

It's a long hard road trying to get home

I'd been gone now for too long

[Chorus:]

I'm not trying to stop a hurricane

I'm not trying to shake the ground below

I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home

I'm not trying to part the ocean waves

I'm not trying to overthrow the throne

I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home

I'm just trying to get home

I've got this image engraved in my mind

Of a light that I had in a whole different time

It still breathes and lives at the end of the road

I've seen mountains and valleys through my missing days

But I never once parted with how you begged me to stay

I will run down that long hard and treacherous road to get home

[Chorus]

I've been gone for so long

But my heart it carries on

As it pounds like a drum

On my journey back home

I've been gone for so long

But my heart it carries on

I won't give up

[Chorus]

I'm just trying to get home [X2]
