Lyrics
Ive lived long enough to know
I've experienced enough in life to have understanding or wisdom.
When I'm going down under
When facing challenges or difficulties.
It just goes to show
These experiences serve as evidence or indication.
Im a long way from home
I am far away from my place of origin.
Im a long way from home
Repetition emphasizing the distance from home.
Im a long way from home
-I got a long way to go
I still have a considerable distance to cover in my journey.
And every time I try to
Attempting to make progress.
Get back slow down
An urging to slow down while trying to return.
See my baby on the other side of town
Desire to reunite with a loved one in another part of town.
Sunrise behind the clouds
Symbolic imagery of a new beginning, hope, or optimism.
A lost love I've never found
A love that has been lost and remains unfulfilled.
Different smiles for every crowd
Adjusting expressions based on the audience or situation.
Ive got a long way to go
Emphasizing the considerable distance left in the journey.
Ive got a long way to go
Reiteration of the long journey ahead.
Ive got a long way to go
-And I'm a long way from home
Feeling far away from one's place of origin.
And every time I try to
Repeating the desire to make progress but with caution.
Get back slow down
Reiterating the need to slow down while attempting to return.
See my baby on the other side of town
Wanting to reunite with a loved one in another part of town.
And every time I try to
Continued effort to move forward cautiously.
Get back slow down
Re-emphasizing the importance of slowing down in the journey back.
Get drunk you know I'm goin down
Indulging in potentially self-destructive behavior when feeling down.
And every time I try to
Persisting in the attempt to make progress cautiously.
Get back slow down
Reiterating the need to slow down while trying to return.
See my baby on the other side of town
Desiring to see a loved one in another part of town during the journey.
