Original lyrics, composition, and vocal performance. ——————————————— LYRICS: [Verse 1] I've been gone so long I forgot what home feels like Chasing dreams and demons down these endless highways My boots are worn, my soul is tired, my heart is heavy now But I keep walking 'cause I don't know how to stop somehow I've been running from myself for twenty years Drowning in my own reflection, hiding in my tears And I've seen everything I thought I wanted to see And it was empty Just like me [Chorus] It's a long road home, but I'm finally on my way Every mile's a memory, every step's a prayer I say I've been lost and I've been broken, but I'm still standing strong On this long road home where I've been gone too long I'm coming home [Verse 2] I called my mother yesterday, she said "son, come back" She said "the door's still open and the light's still on" I cried like a baby 'cause I knew she'd never judge She just loves me like she always did, with unconditional love And I don't deserve it, but I need it more than air And I'm heading home to find the man I used to be somewhere In the fields where I grew up, in the church where I was saved In the arms of the woman who loved me before I went astray [Chorus] It's a long road home, but I'm finally on my way Every mile's a memory, every step's a prayer I say I've been lost and I've been broken, but I'm still standing strong On this long road home where I've been gone too long I'm coming home [Bridge] Maybe home ain't a place, maybe it's a state of mind Maybe it's the people that you leave behind Maybe it's forgiveness for the man you used to be Maybe it's just learning how to finally be free From the guilt, from the shame, from the past From the voices in my head saying "you won't last" But I'm still here, and I'm still walking And I'm almost home [Final Chorus] It's a long road home, but I'm finally on my way Every mile's a memory, every step's a prayer I say I've been lost and I've been broken, but I'm still standing strong On this long road home I'm coming home I'm finally coming home Mama, I'm coming home ——————————————— 🎸 ABOUT WALKER KARSON: Walker Karson is a country artist born outside Abilene, Texas.
