Took a plane to Lisbon
Not too long ago
I stayed in a big hotel
On the beach in Estorille
I heard them singing fado
In a small cafe
And the sounds of new york city
Were so far away
I played my guitar on a tree lined street
In Malaga
Smokin' spanish hash
And sippin' spanish wine
And i jammed with a band
On the deck of a ferry goin' to Tangiers
Gibraltar looked so stately
Passin' through the fog
It's just a long way back home
And i'm glad i finally made it on my own
It's such a long long way home
Hitched a ride on the slowest barge
In Amsterdam
But the ladies drove me crazy
So i went on down to France
And i watche the sunrise shining
On the river Seine
I didn't spend much time there
But i'll be back again
It's just a long way back home
And i'm glad i finally made it on my own
It's such a long long long way home
