The Long Way Lyrics

I'm a man who was born to roam

To pay the price of being alone

To see all that I can find

'Til by life's limits I run out of time

I've worked the logging camps deep in Brazil

I've worked the rigs in the Alaskan chill

I've found something near love in the South China Sea

All of which were nigh death of me

I've fought off bandits in lawless lands

I've ridden camels over desert sands

I've faced pirates and survived to tell

My stories and sing them well

Life's been just what I wanted it to be

Full of adventure seeking all I could see

But as my time keeps closing in

I find myself thinking about home again

I'm a man who was born to roam

To pay the price of being alone

But as I look back on what's been and gone

I've just taken a long way home

I'm a man who was born to roam

To pay the price of being alone

But as I look back on what's been and gone

I've just taken the long way home

I'm a man who was born to roam

To pay the price of being alone

To see all that I can find

'Till by life's limits I run out of time

I've worked the logging camps deep in Brazil

I've worked the rigs in the Alaskan chill

I've found something near love in the South China Sea

All of which were nigh death of me

I've fought off bandits in lawless lands

I've ridden camels over desert sands

I've faced pirates and survived to tell

My stories and sing them well

Life's been just what I wanted it to be

Full of adventure seeking all I could see

But as my time keeps closing in

I find myself thinking about home again

I'm a man who was born to roam

To pay the price of being alone

But as I look back on what's been and gone

I've just taken the long way home
