I open my eyes, I'm thirty miles from Oklahoma
I'm so far from West Virginia
I have dreams of Barcelona
Memories of growing up
In between all the mountains
Left my morals in New York
Somehow again I found them
The tears in her eyes, the dirt on my boots
Your home or the road, she said I must choose
I miss the good ol' days
But now I'm all on my own
Everywhere to be, got no place to go
Lost in translation, left here to roam
Alone... 2000 miles from home
Da-da-da-da dadadada da-da
2000 miles from home
Da-da-da-da dadadada da-da
2000 miles from home
This old man once told me
"Trust only yourself and Jesus"
Then he disappeared
And left me in the desert for no reason
Now the sun has burnt my back
And all I see is an oasis
Frowns and cries
And heckles from such unfamiliar faces
The tears in my eyes, the dirt on my hands
I've been gone for so long, I hope you understand
I'm trying to find my way
But now I'm all on my own
Everywhere to be, got no place to go
Lost in translation, left here to roam
Alone... 2000 miles from home
Da-da-da-da dadadada da-da
2000 miles from home
Da-da-da-da dadadada da-da
San Francisco, Tennessee
I guess this is the life for me
Austin, Dallas, New Orleans
I fell in love with a beauty queen
Charleston, Newport, Miami
The road has been so good to me
But I must stop, sometimes I can't
Think about how I want to go home
Go home
But now I'm all on my own
Everywhere to be, got no place to go
Lost in translation, left here to roam
Alone... 2000 miles from home
Da-da-da-da dadadada da-da
2000 miles from home
Da-da-da-da dadadada da-da
