Buzz Busby: “I’m A Long Ways From Home”

bluegrass, plain pitiful December 12th, 2006

I’m a long ways from home
So all alone
Oh Lord, Please Watch Over Me.

I can’t get used to this hunger
Nobody seem to notice when I’m cold
This life is not making me any younger
I should have stayed at home like I was told

I’m a long ways from home
So all alone
Oh Lord, pleas watch over me.

I slept last night in a public mission
And you just can’t imagine how I felt
The things that happened seemed like fiction
Why, someone even tried to steal my shoes while I slept.

I’m a long ways from home
So all alone,
And I’m scared like I never thought I’d be
I’m a long ways from home,
Everything is wrong
Oh Lord please watch over me.

That is just lonesome. Just plumb lonesome.
