[Verse]
There's a shadow on the road tonight
Fading memories of the porch light
Echoes of laughter in distant nights
Whispers of dreams lost in flight
[Verse]
Tattered shoes on a dusty path
Old man's tales in a photograph
Forgotten smiles and childhood games
Broken hearts and unspoken names
[Chorus]
I'm a long way from home
From the place where I belong
Miss the way life used to be
All the joys and the misery
[Verse]
We had bonfires by the moonlight
A thousand stars lit up the sky
Holdin' hands and feelin' free
No chains to bind you and me
[Verse]
Now the streets are cold and bare
Nothin' but the wind's hollow stare
Days of old are but a sigh
Left us wondering why
[Chorus]
I'm a long way from home
From the place where I belong
Miss the way life used to be
All the joys and the misery
