From the recording Such a Long Way Home
Lyrics
I went on down to my favorite fishin' hole
Brought a can of worms and my willow pole
Well I never knew it was such a long way home
My mom told me to be home around three
I had no idea what would happen to me
Well I never knew it was such a long way home
The fish weren't biting but I didn't mind
So I laid down to rest in the warm sunshine
Woke with a start, the sun had gone down
And I could not see a thing when I looked around
I was chilled to the bone, scared through and through
Heard the strangest noises, saw shadows move
Felt a tug on my arm, thought it was my time
But I woke up again with a fish on my line
I cut the line as fast as I could
Ran down the path that went through the woods
Well I never knew it was such a long way home
My mom said I was home early today
I looked in her eyes and all I could say was
I never knew it was such a long way home
I never knew it was such a long way home
