[Verse 1]
Well, the fever hit me early on
When I was still a kid
I was born to chase the black tops
So that's just what I did
The first time I strung a guitar
And sang a sad old country song
I knew everywhere I travelled
Would be a long way home
[Verse 2]
I played honkey tonk for dive bars
And packed out parking lots
Made news, singing blues
Giving everything I've got
Well, it sure as hell ain't easy
Traveling down this road alone
Knowing everywhere I go
Is a long way from home
[Chorus]
Sometimes it may be tough
But I wouldn't change a thing
I know I'll be content
As long as I can play and sing
There's one thing for sure
I'll always be moving on
And everywhere I go
Is a long way from home
[Verse 3]
I got a girl in Nashville
That keeps me pushing through
She's always got my back
And believes in what I do
And I'll always hurry back
Every time that I am gone
Cause everywhere I go
Is a long way from home
[Chorus]
Sometimes it may be tough
But I wouldn't change a thing
I know I'll be content
As long as I can play and sing
There's one thing for sure
I'll always be moving on
And everywhere I go
Is a long way from home
[Chorus]
Sometimes it may be tough
But I wouldn't change a thing
I know I'll be content
As long as I can play and sing
There's one thing for sure
I'll always be moving on
And everywhere I go
Is a long way from home
Yeah, everywhere I go
Is a long way from home
