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 fly...
To where the sky meets the land
And the living is not planned
And the children can laugh just
Cause they`re living.
I`ll send for you
If you ever want me to
But you`ll have to find
A whole new way of giving.
Running 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 fly.
To where the sky meets the land
And the living is not planned
And the children can laugh
Just cause they`re living.
I`ll send for you
If you ever want me to
But you`ll have to find
A whole new way of giving.
