lyrics

Sitting in a cabaret just killing time
Empty pockets and a troubled mind

Every woman I see reminds me how
There's only one I want beside me now

Long way to get back home
A thousand miles, for years I've roamed
A long way just to get back
Got to get back home

It was a rough day and made a long slow night
She was starting to think she couldn’t do nothing right

I know I saw her there one time before
I felt her eyes on me stepping through the door

Long way just to get back home
Long way from all I know
A long way just to get back
Got to get back home

She’s drinking whiskey to pass the time
Writing her poems seems to ease her mind

Another road another highway sign
She's got her bags and I got mine

Woke up late with the hung over blues
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose

I'm just trying to even the score
Coming up a day late just needing a dollar more

Long way just to get back home
A thousand miles, for years I've roamed
A long way just to get back
Got to get back home

Rice delivers his lyrics with a knowing nod and wink and a twinkle of the eye to the difficulties we encounter in our daily lives, and creates memorable characters in his songs whose foibles remind us of folks we know. ... more
