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
