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 get me back home

Back to my mama who raised me up right
And back to my lady who I held every night
It´s a long hard road trying to get home

I´d 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

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

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

I´m just trying to get home [X2]
