AMERICAN AUTHORS · Oh What A Life 2014 · Track 07 of 11

Written by Aaron Accetta, Dave Rublin, James Adam Shelley, Matt Sanchez, Shep Goodman, Zac Barnett

I've got these letters tattooed on my arm That remind me each second of where I come from And the long hard road to get me back home

Back to my mama who raised me up right And back to my lady who I held every night It's a long hard road trying to get home

I'd been gone now for too long

[Chorus:] I'm not trying to stop a hurricane I'm not trying to shake the ground below I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home

I'm not trying to part the ocean waves I'm not trying to overthrow the throne I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home I'm just trying to get home

I've got this image engraved in my mind Of a light that I had in a whole different time It still breathes and lives at the end of the road

I've seen mountains and valleys through my missing days But I never once parted with how you begged me to stay I will run down that long hard and treacherous road to get home

[Chorus]

I've been gone for so long But my heart it carries on As it pounds like a drum On my journey back home

I've been gone for so long But my heart it carries on I won't give up

[Chorus]

I'm just trying to get home [X2]
