Far Away

"Far Away"

Written by Marty Stuart

Fields are deathly quiet

Where the cotton used to grow

I'm a stranger in a land

That I used to know

In a land

A land I've not forgotten

Look away

Far Away

Everything has changed here

"Cept some things inside of me

I've hid 'em from the world

Kept them under lock and key

Like the sound of my mama's voice

Callin' me back home

To the place

Where I belong

Far Away

Far Away

Don't know why I left you

And look how long I've stayed

Far away

Far away

How'd I get so far away

Carved my name one Sunday morning

On a sweet magnolia tree

I cried when I walked away

Broke my heart to leave

Took that little piece of me

Put it in my pocket

I've lost myself a time or two

And I never once forgot it

Far away

Far away

Don't know why I left you

And look how long I've stayed

Far away

Far away

How'd I get so far away

Far away

Far away

Don't know why I left you

But look how long I've stayed

Far away

Far away

How'd I get so far away

How did I get so far away
