The Only Home I've Ever Known

I’ve been all around the world

But I’ve never really seen anything

Always looking up ahead

Or too far behind

Never in between

Surrounded by my fears

And tortured by the miles

Drowned out by the cheers

And all those empty aisles

Well I ain’t growing any younger

And I can see the shadows getting long

Sometimes I gotta wonder

Why I hang around this place I don’t belong

Oh and you’re the one I know

And I carry here inside

Even out here on the road

You can bring me peace of mind

I’m gonna get on down the line

Leave this other world behind

Before the devil even knows I’m gone

I been on the road too long

I can’t leave you hanging on

Clip my wings I’m never more to roam

You’re the only home I’ve ever known

Well I started out with nothing

That’s exactly what I’ve got on me now

Cause a lifetime taking chances

Only leaves you with what fortune will allow

Oh and bless these memories

And what’s led me to this night

They’ve helped me to believe

What I have to do is right

Oh and damn these wasted years

And damn these wasted miles

Damn these wasted tears

And all this wasted time

I’m gonna get on down the line

Leave this other world behind

Before the devil even knows I’m gone

I’ve been on the road too long

I can’t leave you hanging on

Clip my wings I’m never more to roam

You’re the only home I’ve ever known

You’re the only home I’ve ever known
