Iris DeMent - Makin' My Way Back Home lyrics

Makin' my way back home, It's been the longest time Not since I was a little child, Have I felt so good and fine The easiest thing I've ever done, Like walking through an open door All those things that held me down, Well they just don't matter anymore. I wore pretty dresses and teased my hair Sang my heart out in those songs Good or bad, I done my best You can't tell me I was wrong Makin' my way back home, It's been the longest time Not since I was a little child, Have I felt so good and fine The easiest thing I've ever done, Like walking through an open door

All those things that held me down, Well they just don't matter anymore. I see the shadows of my life Cast upon the level land Rosy lengthening of day Finds my feet in native sand Makin' my way back home, It's been the longest time Not since I was a little child, Have I felt so good and fine The easiest thing I've ever done, Like walking through an open door All those things that held me down, Well they just don't matter anymore. All those things that held me down, Well they just don't matter anymore.
