From the railhead to the boatyard From the factory to the farm From the mine to the mill yard I've weathered with storms From the barroom to the bedpost I've wasted my days And all I have is my drink And the time left to think but the times slips away Just look at my face When you tell me goodbye You can see what I'm after By the look in my eye Just walk away and leave me alone 'Cause it's a long way back home Long way back home Just look at my face When you tell me goodbye You can see what I'm after By the look in my eye Just walk away and leave me alone 'Cause it's a long way back home Long way back home
