Long Way From Home (Live from L.A.)

Held on to hope like a noose like a rope

God and medicine take no mercy on him

Poisoned his blood and burned out his throat

Enough is enough he's a long way from home

Days of my youth wasted on a selfish fool

Who ran for the hills from the hand you were dealt

I flew far away as far as I could go

Your time is running out

And I'm a long way from home

Laid up in bed you were laid up in bed

Holding the pain like you're holding your breath

I prayed you could sleep sleep like a stone

You're right next to me

But you're a long way from home

Hospital gowns never fit like they should

We yelled at the nurse didn't do any good

More morphine the last words you moaned

At last I was sure

That you weren't far away from home
