LETRAS

 

LONG JOURNEY HOME

By the time you get to hear this
I'll be long gone down the road
Without a toothbrush or a suitcase
In a world I didn't know
By the time you get through college
By the time you learn to drive
I'll be picking thought the garbage of my life

By the time you get adjusted
To you objectionable role
I be deleted, deselected from that very home
When you've washed yourself of direction
And burned every happiness you know
I'll have made my last connection on the long journey home

By the time you get to hear this
You'll be completely alone
Counting down the hours to your destination
On your long journey home.
