The Broke Neck Reds - The Long Way Lyrics

I'm a man who was born to roam
To pay the price of being alone
To see all that I can find
'Til by life's limits I run out of time
I've worked the logging camps deep in Brazil
I've worked the rigs in the Alaskan chill
I've found something near love in the South China Sea
All of which were nigh death of me
I've fought off bandits in lawless lands
I've ridden camels over desert sands
I've faced pirates and survived to tell
My stories and sing them well
Life's been just what I wanted it to be
Full of adventure seeking all I could see
But as my time keeps closing in
I find myself thinking about home again
I'm a man who was born to roam
To pay the price of being alone
But as I look back on what's been and gone
I've just taken a long way home
I'm a man who was born to roam
To pay the price of being alone
But as I look back on what's been and gone
I've just taken the long way home
I'm a man who was born to roam
To pay the price of being alone
To see all that I can find
'Till by life's limits I run out of time
I've worked the logging camps deep in Brazil
I've worked the rigs in the Alaskan chill
I've found something near love in the South China Sea
All of which were nigh death of me
I've fought off bandits in lawless lands
I've ridden camels over desert sands
I've faced pirates and survived to tell
My stories and sing them well
Life's been just what I wanted it to be
Full of adventure seeking all I could see
But as my time keeps closing in
I find myself thinking about home again
I'm a man who was born to roam
To pay the price of being alone
But as I look back on what's been and gone
I've just taken the long way home
