I′ve got these letters tattooed on my arm that remind me each second
Of where I come from and the long hard road to guide me back home
Back to my momma who raised me up right
And back to my lady
I held every night, it's a long hard road, trying to get home

I′ve been gone now, for too long
I'm not trying to stop a hurricane
I'm not trying to shake the ground below
I′m just trying to find a way to make it back home
I′m not trying to part the ocean waves
I'm not trying to overthrow the throne
I′m just trying to find a way to make it back home
I'm just trying to get home


I′ve got this image engraved in my mind of a life that I had
In a whole different time
It still breathes and lives at the end of the road
I've seen mountains and valleys through my missing days
But I never once parted with how you begged me to stay
I will run down that long hard and treacherous road to get home

I′m not trying to stop a hurricane
I'm not trying to shake the ground below
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
I′m not trying to part the ocean waves
I′m not trying to overthrow the throne
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
I′m just trying to get home
I've been gone for so long but my heart it carries on
As it pounds like a drum on my journey back home
I′ve been gone for so long but my heart it carries on
I won't give up


I′m not trying to stop a hurricane
I'm not trying to shake the ground below
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
I′m not trying to part the ocean waves
I′m not trying to overthrow the throne
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
I′m just trying to get home
I'm just trying to get home
