I'm a long way from home and so all alone
Homesick, like I never thought I'd be
I'm a long way from home and everything is wrong
Someone please watch over meI'm not accustomed to these feelings
The loneliness is burning in my soul
Sometimes the mind is so misleading
I wish I'd stayed at home like I was toldI'm a long way from home and so all alone
Homesick, like I never thought I'd be
I'm a long way from home and everything is wrong
Someone please watch over meWhen Waylon did it, he sang this verse
'I wish I knew the force within me
That keeps my mind out of control
What makes me reach for things that I can't see
I wish I'd stayed at home like I was told'
