Last time i was on these streets
i was only 17 years old
but in the eyes of the law that was old enough
to be tried as an adult
Now after all these years folks around here
still remember who I am
Sometimes I catch them watching me close
or they just act like they don't give a damn
Cause Lord I've been gone so long
Now this place don't feel like home
I've been gone sooo long
All I want is to move on
Early in the morning I go looking for work
I bum rides since I lost my car
I Hitch a couple miles to my PO
just to tell him no luck so far
I served my time and I paid my debt
but there's always something more I owe
Seems like all I can do is what I've always done
and just go back to what I know
Cause Lord I've been gone so long
Now this place don't feel like home
I've been gone so long
All I want is to move on
At night I lay awake and wonder
how else to make amends
Ya can't help but start to think
they're never gonna let me start again.
Cause Lord I've been gone so long
Now this place don't feel like home
I've been gone so long
All I want is to move on
All I want is to move on
All I want is to move oooon
All I want is to move on
