Long Way From Home

Held on to hope like a noose, like a rope
 God and medicine take no mercy on him
 Poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat
 Enough is enough, he's a long way from home
 ♪
 Days of my youth wasted on a selfish fool
 Who ran for the hills from the hand you were dealt
 I flew far away, as far as I could go
 Your time is running out
 And I'm a long way from home
 ♪
 Laid up in bed, you were laid up in bed
 Holding the pain like you're holding your breath
 I prayed you could sleep, sleep like a stone
 You're right next to me
 But you're a long way from home
 ♪
 Hospital gowns never fit like they should
 We yelled at the nurse, didn't do any good
 More morphine, the last words you moaned
 At last, I was sure
 That you weren't far away from home
