  • Got my mind like the Pope got God
    I got the blues well it seems so far
    Temptation all around the air that I breath
    But you ain't got to worry 'cause you tamed the beast
    And in the summer time
    That we lost
    Out of time and
    At a cost
    I need someone who can understand
    I'll never be a prophet in my own land

    When I'm a long way from home
    With so much pressure on my bones
    I'm such a long way from home
    But I'll be back soon

    Tongue tied on the telephone line
    You got the words to help me ease up my mind
    No one love me like the way that you love me so
    I got to tell you from the tip of my tongue
    'Cause I know where I'll find you
    I know just where you lie
    Always deep in my heart
    You're by my side

    I know it's hard
    When I'm a long way from home
    With so much pressure on my bones
    I'm such a long way from home
    But I'll be back soon (yeah)

    (I'm coming home)
    I know where I'll find you
    I know just where you lie
    Always deep in my heart
    You're by my side

    It's so hard
    When I'm a long way from home
    It's so much pressure on my bones
    I'm such a long way from home
    But I'll be back soon

    I'm gonna be back soon
    Oh, I'm gonna be back soon
    Daddy gonna be back soon, yeah Writer/s: CHRIS ELLUL, DAN TAYLOR, KELVIN SWABY, SPENCER PAGE
