I got my things together and on a wing I flew
I meant to send a letter that said goodbye to you
I didn't hear you call when I went out the door
When I went out your door
Oh yeah, it's a long walk back and the train don't pass
Through here, it's a long walk back, I fear, it's a long walk back
And the path ain't always clear, it's a long walk, a long walk back
Now, once there was a reason for everything I did
With every passin' season, I've lost my way instead
The road that led me far from all that I once knew
Will bring me back to you
Oh yeah, it's a long walk back and the train don't pass
Through here, it's a long walk back, I fear, it's a long walk back
And the path ain't always clear, it's a long walk, a long way back
It's a long walk to your door, to where we were before
And I pray that I can made it back home, back home
The road that led me far from all that I once knew
Will bring me back to you
Oh yeah, it's a long walk back and the train don't pass
Through here, it's a long walk back, I fear
It's a long walk back and the path ain't always clear
It's a long walk, a long walk back, well, it's a long walk back
