Lyrics Long Way from Home - The Americans
Your
daddy
always
told
you
not
to
be
so
shy
So
you
clenched
your
jaw
and
you
set
your
mind
You
arrived
fresh-faced
in
the
city
of
the
doomed
Where
you
rose
to
the
top
like
a
helium
balloon
You
left
your
friends
at
odds
and
ends,
whatever
it
took
To
chase
your
fortune,
like
an
orphan
in
a
bedtime
book
Your
songs
hit
the
charts,
riding
on
a
geyser
You
became
a
cocktail
Communist
party
sympathizer
With
eight
straight
miles
of
ocean
view
And
Jesus
when
he′s
convenient
for
you
You
rest
your
feet
upon
a
golden
throne
And
you
smile
so
sweet,
a
long
way
from
home
With
your
hair
grown
out,
your
mustache
groomed
Your
old
man
doesn't
even
recognize
you
You
spent
two
years
living
out
of
fancy
hotels
Till
you
drowned
your
life
savings
down
a
wishing
well
Your
latest
wife
left
last
night,
I
saw
it
on
the
news
You
paid
your
astrologer
top
dollar
for
her
point
of
view
Now
you′re
stoned
each
night
for
your
peace
of
mind
You've
got
a
sweet
little
servant
just
to
tell
you
you're
fine
A
wiseass
son
barking
back
at
you
They
keep
saying
you′ve
still
got
it,
but
I
don′t
think
you
do
When
you
sit
to
write
your
hit
in
a
room
alone
Even
you
must
admit
you're
a
long
way
from
home
