This song was written by Kris when reflecting on the fact his family had turned their backs on him for giving up his formal education in pursuit of a music career.

Lyrics:

The bars are all closed and the ladies are leaving

Theres nobody nobody knows on the street

Just a few stranded souls waitin cold at the station

Nowhere to go but to bed and to sleep

Lord, would you look at me now that Im here

Lookin back through the years, see the hard way Ive come

All alone all the way, right or wrong now, whos to say

That I threw it away for a song

Boys Ive sure come a long way from home

So its so long to so many, so far behind me

Fair weather friends that I no longer know

Ive still got some same old sad songs to remind me

Of someone I used to be so long ago

Lord, would you look at me now that Im here

Lookin back through the years, see the hard way Ive come

All alone all the way, right or wrong, now whos to say

That I threw it away for a song

Ive sure come a long way from home
