Tom Chapin - Long Way Home текст песни

I was coming home, in a yellow bus,
But the bus broke down, and stranded us.
Coming home in a yellow bus,
But the bus broke down and stranded us.
It was a long, long, long, long, long way home.

So I hopped a train, coming down the line.
The caboose came loose, I got left behind.
Hopped a train coming down the line,
The caboose came loose, I got left behind.
It was a long, long, long, long, long way home.

So I found a boat, by the river bank,
But we hit a rock, and it promptly sank.
Found a boat by the river bank,
But we hit a rock and it promptly sank.
It was a long, long, long, long, long way home.

So I got picked up, by a submarine,
But they left me off, in the Philippines.
Got picked up by a submarine,
But they left me off in the Philippines.
It was a long, long, long, long, long way home.

Then I took a jet, but I couldn't pay,
So they threw me out, of the cargo bay.
Took a jet but I couldn't pay,
So they threw me out of the cargo bay.
It was a long, long, long, long, long way home.

Oh, my parachute kept me safe from harm,
But I landed in a tree, on the neighbors' farm.
My parachute kept me safe from harm,
But I landed in a tree on the neighbors' farm.
It was a long, long, long, long, long way home.

So I jumped a horse, but it threw a shoe,
And I had to walk, back home to you.
Jumped a horse, but it threw a shoe,
And I had to walk back home to you.
It was a long, long, long, long, long way home.

So I'm sorry, Mom, that I'm home so late,
And that dinner's cold, and I made you wait.
Sorry, Mom, that I'm home so late,
And that dinner's cold and I made you wait.
It was just a long, long, long, long, long way home.
