Long Way Home (Live In The Country) Lyrics

Running in the wrong direction
Isn't it a long way home?
People with the wrong intentions
Isn't it a long way home?City, you are dying real slow
Country, you are calling me to go
Smokestacks, I don't need you no more
I'm gonna flyTo where the sky meets the land
And the living is not planned
And the children can laugh
Just 'cause they're livingI'll send for you
If you ever want me to
But you'll have to find
A whole new way of givingRunning from the noise and poison
Isn't it a long way home?
Wounded by a law man's toy gun
Isn't it a long way home?City, no more shadows to be seen
Country, all the sunshine you can dream
Smokestacks spew your sour-smelling steam

I'm gonna flyTo where the sky meets the land
And the living is not planned
And the children can laugh
Just 'cause they're livingI'll send for you
If you ever want me to
But you'll have to find
A whole new way of givingLive in the country
Live in the country
Live in the country
Live in the countryLive in the country
Live in the country
Live in the country
Live in the country
