lyrics

I've got miles of ocean
a thousand acres of stone
before I reach my destination
before I crawl home

I got a mountain to climb
I got a soul to find
Hell I've got north and south Carolina
on my mind

I got a railroad map
and with any luck
it might help me stay on track
I got a sore neck
from always facing forward
I aint ever turnin' back

I got a real fierce case
of the homesick blues
and I use it to move my road-worn shoes
my road-worn shoes

now I could stumble
oh I could shake
hell, both my legs
might even crumble and break
but I aint come across a bit of pain
this body couldn't take

I could get hit by a truck
I could catch myself
a real bad string of luck
but I swear to god
I'm gonna die
standing straight up

I got a railroad map
and with any luck
it might help me stay on track
I got a sore neck
from always facing forward
I aint ever turnin' back

I got a real fierce case
of the homesick blues
and I use it to move my road-worn shoes
my road-worn shoes

I got a whole world to see
and I don't care about the devil
standin' in front of me
I got a paradise in sight
so until I get home
keep burnin' that porch light

I got a railroad map
and with any luck
it might help me stay on track
I got a sore neck
from always facing forward
I aint ever turnin' back

I got a real fierce case
of the homesick blues
and I use it to move my road-worn shoes
my road-worn shoes
