show me the way back home

Kenny Wayne Shepherd

I met a rag doll, with lovely eyes
Lookin so lost, and cast aside
Beggin spare change
Beneath the shadows of a sunset street light

I dug down deep, into my pocket
A couple dollars, was all that I had
She reached out like, it was treasure
She looked so far away, when she said

She said
Show me the way back home
Cuz I've been out there runnin
For way too long
And all that I've learned
And just when you think
You've chased down every last mile
There's always another one, I need someone
To show me the way back home

So many lost souls, along the line
It wasn't so long, that soul was mine
Feeling forsaken, down on my knees
Needing some mercy, asking please

Show me the way back home
Cuz I've been out there runnin
For way too long
And all that I've learned
And just when you think
You've chased down every last mile
There's always another one, I need someone
To show me the way back home

Oh yeah

And all that I've learned
And just when you think
You've chased down every last mile
There's always another one, I need someone
Yeah, yeah, I need someone
To show me the way back home

So many lost souls, along the line
It wasn't so long, that soul was mine
