[Verse]
Is this glass full of water? Or is it full of light?
You can never walk by a mirror without looking at yourself twice
Your whole life has been shaped by what you saw in the back of a hand
You used to be a hungry boy but the law turned you into a decent sort of man
Go and get your things now, we're going for a ride
I've seen the arrow in my path, I know this has got to be a sign
It didn't take much, no it never took much to get out
Just your Daddy's turned key in the engine fire burned every wire down
Now the moonlight lights up all of the dirty backroads
Ohhh ohhh
Past the graveyard family plot where everyone I know goes
Drive away from the sounds of the place in the town where he lived
I was swinging back tryin' to fight a way out of hell with my fists
You put your hand on my shoulder it was nothing to me 'cept dead weight
'Cause I ain't never gonna turn around I'd rather make the whole world pay
Do you wanna be one of the un-reconciled down in the earth?
To poison the fields, and the soil, and the trees, and the dirt
You heard a name in the noise at a party it was somebody you know
Your sister singing for an audience of one on the radio
[Chorus]
"Call home, call home, if you ever have any doubts."
You're just a Hitchhike highway ghost riding your rage from town to town
Call home, call home
I'm looking for a quarter, and a payphone
Call home, call home
[Outro]
Gotta a long way to go
I am a long way from home
I gotta a long way to go
We are a long, long way from home
