I'm hanging on the corner in the back seat Just got the word; been a long time coming A thousand miles out from where you left me It's all I've ever known You're living on a dollar and a daydream Pulling the weight of their expectations I think it's about time you break free From everyone back home And everything you've known And it's a long way home I'm in so deep and it's only just begun On my own and I won't look back for anyone Common sense seems so dead And I feel it on this long way home I won't look back for anyone You're trading your youth for a paycheck Punching the clock in this dead rotation Still can't find a way to make rent Cut loose and let it go And it's a long way home I'm in so deep and it's only just begun On my own and I won't look back for anyone Common sense seems so dead And I feel it on this long way home I won't look back for anyone
