Lyrics Kris Kristofferson

Kris Kristofferson

Breakdown (A Long Way from Home)

The clubs are all closed, and the ladies are leavin'

There's nobody nobody knows on the street

A few stranded souls standin' cold at the station

And nowhere to go but to bed and to sleep

Lord would you look at you

Now that you're here ain't you

Proud of your peers

And the long way you've come

All alone all the way

On your own, who's to say

That you've, thrown it away for a song

Boy you've, sure come a long way from home

So it's so long so many so far behind you

Fair-weather friends that you no longer know

You still got the same lonely songs to remind you

Of someone you seemed to be, so long ago

Lord would you look at you

Now that you're here ain't you

Proud of your peers

And the long way you've come

All alone all the way

On your own, who's to say

That you've, thrown it away for a song

Boy you've, sure come a long way from home
