The Man Lyrics by Stephen Murphy

A Way Back Home

2021

[Verse 1]
Travelling back home from the life I have on loan
Travelling back home from the life I have on loan
To the man in the big tower
[Verse 2]
Never felt this alone, I can feel it in my bones
From my head to my toes, someone stole my soul
She’s not gonna wait forever
[Verse 3]
See the man from that big tower, I feel his pain
He tries to be tough and he tries strong
But he's just like me, sad and alone
[Verse 4]
Both ride the same slow train, drinking as we go
Every bump in the track the more the whiskey flows
Both in love with girls who we leave in pain
[Verse 5]
How high is your ivory tower, what's the price for fame?
How many people did it cost you for everyone to know your name?
Our money is different but our pain is just the same
[Verse 6]
We’re travelling back home from the life we have on loan
Travelling back home from the life we have on loan
To the man in the sky above until he cuts us down
