[Intro] I've got these letters tattooed on my arm That remind me each second Of where I come from And the long hard road To guide me back home Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh [Verse 1] Back to my mama who raised me up right And back to my lady I held every night It's a long hard road trying to get home I've been gone now for too long [Chorus] I'm not trying to stop a hurricane I'm not trying to shake the ground below I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home I'm not trying to part the ocean waves I'm not trying to overthrow the throne I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home I'm just trying to get home Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh [Verse 2] I've got this image engraved in my mind Of a light that I had in a whole different time It still breathes and lives at the end of the road I've seen mountains and valleys through my missing days But I never once parted with how you begged me to stay I will run down that long, hard, and treacherous road to get home [Chorus] I'm not trying to stop a hurricane I'm not trying to shake the ground below I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home I'm not trying to part the ocean waves I'm not trying to overthrow the throne I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home I'm just trying to get home Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh [Bridge] I've been gone for so long But my heart, it carries on As it pounds like a drum On my journey back home I've been gone for so long But my heart, it carries on I won't give up [Chorus] I'm not trying to stop a hurricane I'm not trying to shake the ground below I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home I'm not trying to part the ocean waves I'm not trying to overthrow the throne I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home I'm just trying to get home [Outro] Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh I'm just trying to get home
