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 homeBack to my mama who raised me up right
And back to my lady, I held every night
It's a long hard road trying to get homeI'd been gone now for too longI'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 homeI'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 homeI've got this image engraved in my mind
Of a life that I had in a whole different time
It still breathes and lives at the end of the roadI'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 homeI'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 homeI'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 homeI've been gone for so long
But my heart it carries on
As it pounds like a drum
On my journey back homeI've been gone for so long
But my heart it carries on
I won't give upI'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 homeI'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 homeI'm just trying to get home
