I open my eyes, I'm thirty miles from Oklahoma I'm so far from West Virginia I have dreams of Barcelona In between all the mountains Left my morals in New York Somehow again I found them The tears in her eyes, the dirt on my boots Your home or the road, she said I must choose
But now I'm all on my own Everywhere to be, got no place to go Lost in translation, left here to roam Alone....2000 miles from home Da-da-da-da dadadada da-da Da-da-da-da dadadada da-da
This old man once told me "Trust only yourself and Jesus" And left me in the desert for no reason Now the sun has burnt my back And all I see is an oasis And heckles from such unfamiliar faces The tears in my eyes, the dirt on my hands I've been gone for so long, I hope you understand I'm trying to find my way
I guess this is the life for me Austin, Dallas, New Orleans I fell in love with a beauty queen Charleston, Newport, Miami The road has been so good to me But I must stop, sometimes I can't Think about how I want to go home
