It's Been A Long Time

It's been a long time
 Since I opened the window
 Next to my bed
 Since I spent the whole day
 Just feelin' the sun shift on my head
 Since I've dug my feet in
 Into the edge of this continent
 It's been a long, long time
 It's being a long time
 Home is not just where I am anymore
 I know how to get there
 And it's where I wanna be
 It's where the river kisses the ocean
 Where I feel small, I feel blessed
 And I feel like me
 It's been a long, long time
 I can't remember
 When all this runnin' started
 But it took about eight years
 For something in me to slip
 I gave all I could give
 But then I just kept givin'
 'Til I woke up one day to find
 My body had up and left
 My body, ooh, she up and left
 Been a long, long time
 It's been a long time
 Home is not just where I am anymore
 I know how to get there
 It's where I wanna be
 Where the river kisses the ocean
 Where I feel small, I feel blessed
 And I feel like me
 Been a long, long time
 And it's been a long time
 Long, long time
 'Cause I ain't no good to you, sober
 If I just medicate my life
 So, I'm askin' for some help here
 Helping me get level
 To help me to get right
 Been a long time
 It's been a long, long time
 It's been a long time
