A shady street I've never wandered on
a couple thousand miles from where I'm from
I hear that singer pick a storytelling song
tells me I belong

and I am not alone
far away from home yet home

Some nights you're out there on your own
feels like you got no place, you got no place in this whole damn world to go
but even Hemingway he knew all about the doggone way I feel
tells me that I'm safe and real

and I am not alone
far away from home yet home
far away from home yet home

And it ain't where I lay my hat
it ain't where my broken heart is at
it's in the promise of the street
a state of balance that you seldom reach

and I am not alone
far away from home yet home
far away from home yet home
