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
