A Long Way Home
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 riverbank
but we hit a rock, and it promptly sank
Found a boat by the riverbank
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 Phillipines
Got picked up by a submarine
but they left me off in the Phillipines
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 neighbor's farm
Parachute kept me safe from harm
but I landed in a tree on the neighbor's farm
It was a long, long, long, long, long way home
So I jumped on 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 the dinner's cold, and I made you wait
Sorry mom that I'm home so late
And the dinner's cold and I made you wait
It's just a long, long, long, long, long way home
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 riverbank
but we hit a rock, and it promptly sank
Found a boat by the riverbank
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 Phillipines
Got picked up by a submarine
but they left me off in the Phillipines
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 neighbor's farm
Parachute kept me safe from harm
but I landed in a tree on the neighbor's farm
It was a long, long, long, long, long way home
So I jumped on 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 the dinner's cold, and I made you wait
Sorry mom that I'm home so late
And the dinner's cold and I made you wait
It's just a long, long, long, long, long way home
