[Verse]
D G D
Jumped on a train never go back. Where I'm a going is up to the tracks. Never look back.
Em A
Four lonely strangers on this empty cart. It's no way to live but times are hard. So hard.
[Verse]
D G D
They jumped out in Jacksonville, don't know if they'll make it but I wish the well. I wish them well.
A D Em
I travel around from town to town. Didn't have no money and I slept on the cold hard ground,
D
and I keep moving on.
[Chorus]
C G D C G D C G D C C(stop) G G(stop) D(let ring)
Cause it's a long way home. It's a lng way home. It's a long way home. Well It's a long way home.
[Verse]
D G D
An empty bottle, plate with no food, torn up clothes and holes in my boots. Damned ol' boots.
A D G
It's a messed up world when your all alone. It's all I could do just to keep moving on.
D
Gotta keep moving on.
[Chorus]
C G D C G D C G D C C(stop) G G(stop) D D(stop)
Cause it's a long way home. It's a lng way home. It's a long way home. Well It's a long way home.
[Bridge]

Jumped on a train never go back. Where I'm a going is up to the tracks. Damned ol' tracks.
