Set our sights on some distant land Way back in the way back when Packed our troubles in an old pack tent Way back in the way back when Spoke the language 'til we knew what it meant Way back in the way back when Prayed to God he had a hand to lend Way back in the way back when We were livin', breathin' Broken, battered but believin' Way back, way back Way back in the way back when We set out on a road that had no end Way back in the way back when Crossed the deserts in our caravan Way back in the way back when Built our homes on the shiftin' sand Way back in the way back when I love you, darlin', and I won't pretend Way back in the way back when We were livin', breathin' Broken, battered but believin' Way back, way back Way back in the way back when We walked some hard roads We took some hard roads Drifted up on the wrong shore Been shown out the back door Been told to keep movin' Signs ain't improvin' Showin' up on the wrong side But nobody's gonna break my stride Nobody's gonna break my stride Nobody's gonna break my stride Nobody's gonna break my stride Nobody's gonna break my stride So I dressed myself up in thicker skin Way back in the way back when Listened to no one but the gods within Way back in the way back when I sang my song 'til I knew what it meant Way back in the way back when Prayed to God he had a hand to lend Way back in the way back when We were livin', breathin' Broken, battered but believin' Way back, way back Way back in the way back when I'll keep moving on I'll keep moving on
