The song addresses a successful pop star from the point of view of a wiser acquaintance who sees how the star has lost his way, giving in to materialism and forgetting the people who used to be part of his life.
A Long Way from Home Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You've come a long way from the runny-nosed and scruffy kid I knew
You had such good ways
I can remember little things that always made you smile
They made you happy
[Chorus]
Now you think you're wiser because you're older
And you think that money buys everything
And you think that you need no one to guide you
But you're still a long way from home
[Verse 2]
You've come a long way, you're self-assured and dressed in funny clothes
But you don't know me
[Chorus]
I hope you find what you are looking for
With your car and your handmade overcoats
But your wealth will never make you stronger
'Cos you're still a long way from home
Yeah, you're still a long way from home
