Hometown News - Long Way Back Home lyrics

Was that the highway calling me Or just my nervous energy Well either way I had to leave At least that's what I thought What's the good in being gone You're not there and life goes on You're somewhere else you don't belong And it's a long way It's a long way Such a long way back home Hollywood's got that walk of fame People walk right on those names You can tread on fallen stars All the way down Sunset Boulevard All that glitters is not gold Even gold is hard and cold Like the way it turns your soul And it's a long way It's a long way Such a long way back home Sometimes the only difference tween A pilgrim and a prodigal son Is the difference tween the dream that we begin And the thing that we become What have we become So hail a taxi, catch a train Ride the shuttle to the plane Strangers I don't want to meet I wish them well away from me Vomit bags and magazines Flying nuns that bring me drinks While out the window I can see It's a long way It's a long way Such a long way back home
