It's a long dark road that I call my home
It's a long dark road that I'm cursed to roam

These many nights I've been banished here
My companion is the stars
With a bed roll and a blanket
And just the rocks to lay my bones

One day from the darkness I'll come rapping at your door
And I'll never walk this road anymore

It's a long dark road that I call my home
It's a long dark road that I'm cursed to roam

These many nights I've been banished here
My companion is the stars
With a bed roll and a blanket
And just the rocks to lay my bones

One day from the darkness I'll come rapping at your door
And I'll never walk this road anymore
No, I'll never walk this road anymore
No, I'll never leave this home anymore
