Ramblin boy you've been around Dallas to the underground High above and down below And places I was scared to go You sang it loud in case they heard Hanging on to every word Gentle as a lullaby Firecrackers in your eyes I would give anything For one more night to run And one last song to sing You weren't asking much at all Just catch you when you fall On your own The long way home What's that sadness in your smile
You've been crying all the while Could you lean upon my shoulder In case you die or just get old So what are we supposed to do Just walk around forever blue? And all this hurry up and wait Was it chance or was it fate I would give anything For one more night to run And one last song to sing You weren't asking much at all Just catch you when you fall On your own The long way home
