I left home a long, long time ago   In a tin can for the road with a suitcase and some songs   Chasing miles through the nighttime making tracks   With no time for looking back to the place where I belong      How these days grow long   But I'm on my way back home   It's been hard to be away      How I miss you and I just wanna kiss you   And I'm gonna love you till my dying day   How these days grow long      When you're sad, you know I wish I could be there   To make your sorrows disappear and set your troubles free   It's not fair for me to be this far from you   But I promise to stay true wherever I might be      Time keeps burning   The wheels keep on turning sometimes   I feel I'm wasting my day      How I miss you and I just wanna kiss you   And I'm gonna love you till my dying day      How these days grow long   Time keeps burning on   How these days grow long      Now I'm lost in a sea of sunken dreams   While the sound of drunken screams echoes in the night   But I know all of this will come to pass   And I'll be with you at last, forever by your side      How these days grow long   But I'm on my way back home   It's been hard to be away      How I miss you and I just wanna kiss you   And I'm gonna love you till my dying day      And time keeps burning   The wheels keep on turning sometimes   I feel I'm wasting my day      How I miss you and I just want to kiss you   And I'm gonna love you till my dying day      How these days grow long   Time keeps burning on   How these days grow long
