engI got an up close glimpse of the outside world It's an awful big place, well that's for damn sure Seen more of this life than most have seen And it's taken a mighty be toll on me Ah it'd sure feel good to be free Some days I feel alright Some days I can't wait until it's night Sometimes you gotta face that light Get back in the ring, put on your gloves & fight I think it's gonna take some time To find a way to ease my mind It's gonna take the long way back home So I'm gonna take the long way back home Back home Did you ever see a man have a heart attack It'll open your eyes & stop you in your tracks So I threw away my last cigarette Get it right this time, I'll clean up my act That's a hard cold fact Some days I feel alright Some days I can't wait until it's night Some days you gotta face that light Get back in the ring, put on your gloves & fight I think it's gonna take some time To find a way to ease my mind I'm gonna take the long way back home I'm gonna take the long way back home Oh back home So many things I ain't done yet So many things I've done that I'd forget I just need a place to rest my head Some days I feel alright Some days I can't wait until it's night Some days you gotta face that light Get back in the ring, put on your gloves & fight I think it's gonna take some time To find a way to ease my mind I'm gonna take the long way back home Some days I feel alright Some days I can't wait until it's night Some days you gotta face that light Get back in the ring, put on your gloves & fight I think it's gonna take some time To find a way to ease my mind I'm gonna take the long way back home So I'm gonna take the long way back home So I'm gonna take the long way back home So I'm gonna take the long way back home Back home
