Long Way Home

Dan Fogelberg
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



Live in the country

Live in the country

Live in the country

Live in the country



Live in the country

Live in the country

Live in the country

Live in the country
