Lyrics
I wish I hadn’t of met ya
Then I wouldn’t gotta get ya
I followed you far
I left the girl that I’ve know
But it’s getting dark
And I’m a long way from home
I’m a long way from home
I’m a long way from home
I’m a long way from home
And my soul’s torn, it’s tattered and tired
And if I hadn’t of knew ya
I wouldn’t be runnin’ to ya
Or left my daddy’s farm
To chase you into the gloam
But it’s getting dark
And I’m a long way from home
Each time I think I’m nearin’ you
It’s clear that disappearing’s what you do
Still, your voice I’m hearin’
And I’m fearin’ this is some kind of Hoodoo
I wish I hadn’t of met ya
And if I hadn’t pursued ya
I’d be singin’ “hallelujah”
Safe in the old churchyard
With no stain on my soul
I hear the hellhounds bark
And I’m runnin’ lost and alone
I’m a long way from home
I’m a long way from home
I’m a long way from home
And my soul’s torn it’s tattered and tired
Don’t know the way back home
And my soul’s torn, It’s tattered and tired
