Long Journey Home
Lost all my money but a two dollar bill Two dollar bill boys, two dollar bill Lost all my money but a two dollar bill I’m on my long journey home
Cloudy in the West and it looks like rain Looks like rain, boys, looks like rain Cloudy in the West and it looks like rain I’m on my long journey home
It’s dark and a raining and I want to go home Want to go home, boys, want to go home Its dark and a raining and I want to go home I’m on my long journey home
Homesick and lonesome and I’m feeling kind of blue Feeling kind of blue, boys, feeling kind of blue Homesick and lonesome and I’m feeling kind of blue I’m on my long journey home
There’s black smoke a rising and it surely is a train Surely is a train boys, surely is a train There’s black smoke a rising and it surely is a train I’m on my long journey home

Rodney Crowell - The Long Journey Home Lyrics
Artist: Rodney Crowell
Album: Tarpaper Sky
We ran off chasing rainbows 'Neath the blue Montana sky And we self-proclaimed our freedom with a roar We crossed those raging rivers And we drank the taverns dry And we bowed our heads to legends Gone before Are you ready for the long journey home? The flatlands, swamps and bayous in your bones The simple lefe tastes sweeter now You have no need to roam Are you ready for the long journey home? The wind down off the Yellowstone Blows coal trains off their tracks And the water springs eternal from the fire An eagle flies at sunrise 'Cross an aspen grove and back And the moonlight brings a blue coyote choir Are you ready for the long journey home? The flatlands, swamps and bayous in your bones The simple lefe tastes sweeter now You have no need to roam Are you ready for the long journey home? In dreams of mile-high cotton fields We once ran barefoot through My dead drunk Uncle Fireball growls these words "Blood don't make you family, Boy And I've got news for you Rattlesnakes don't sing like speckled birds" Are you ready for the long journey home? The flatlands, swamps and bayous in your bones The simple lefe tastes sweeter now You have no need to roam Are you ready for the long journey home?

Red, white and blue. Green, white and gold. So I had to leave from my country of birth. As for each child grown tall. Another lies in the earth. And for every rail we laid in the loam. There's a thousand miles of the long journey home. But as you ascend the ladder. Look out below where you tread.
