I've Got These Letters Tattooed On My Arm
That Remind Me Each Second Of Where I Come From
And The Long Hard Road To Get Me Back Home

Back To My Mama Who Raised Me Up Right
And Back To My Lady Who I Held Every Night
It's A Long Hard Road Trying To Get Home

I'd Been Gone Now For Too Long

[Chorus:]
I'm Not Trying To Stop A Hurricane
I'm Not Trying To Shake The Ground Below
I'm Just Trying To Find A Way To Make It Back Home

I'm Not Trying To Part The Ocean Waves
I'm Not Trying To Overthrow The Throne
I'm Just Trying To Find A Way To Make It Back Home
I'm Just Trying To Get Home

I've Got This Image Engraved In My Mind
Of A Light That I Had In A Whole Different Time
It Still Breathes And Lives At The End Of The Road

I've Seen Mountains And Valleys Through My Missing Days
But I Never Once Parted With How You Begged Me To Stay
I Will Run Down That Long Hard And Treacherous Road To Get Home

[Chorus]

I've Been Gone For So Long
But My Heart It Carries On
As It Pounds Like A Drum
On My Journey Back Home

I've Been Gone For So Long
But My Heart It Carries On
I Won't Give Up

[Chorus]

I'm Just Trying To Get Home [X2]
