I’ve been all around the world But I’ve never really seen anything Always looking up ahead Or too far behind Never in between Surrounded by my fears And tortured by the miles Drowned out by the cheers And all those empty aisles Well I ain’t growing any younger And I can see the shadows getting long Sometimes I gotta wonder Why I hang around this place I don’t belong Oh and you’re the one I know And I carry here inside Even out here on the road You can bring me peace of mind I’m gonna get on down the line Leave this other world behind Before the devil even knows I’m gone I been on the road too long I can’t leave you hanging on Clip my wings I’m never more to roam You’re the only home I’ve ever known
Well I started out with nothing That’s exactly what I’ve got on me now Cause a lifetime taking chances Only leaves you with what fortune will allow Oh and bless these memories And what’s led me to this night They’ve helped me to believe What I have to do is right Oh and damn these wasted years And damn these wasted miles Damn these wasted tears And all this wasted time I’m gonna get on down the line Leave this other world behind Before the devil even knows I’m gone I’ve been on the road too long I can’t leave you hanging on Clip my wings I’m never more to roam You’re the only home I’ve ever known You’re the only home I’ve ever known
