PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

          I am on the road.

          I feel so cold.

          This trip is so old.

          I am a truck driver, hauling a big, heavy, loud.

          I am a miner in California to hunt for gold.



          I'm a long way from home.



          I feel so alone.

          So far from home, I have roamed.

          This is what it must be like to be a country star.

          I don't have the fans, the bands,

          I don't have the crowd, and the loud.

          I just have the motels and the hotels.



           I'm a long way from home.



              I'm a male with a job to make the sale.

              I'm on a boat in the middle of a gale.

              I can feel the heavy rain.

              I can feel the pain.



            I'm a long way from home.



                I'm in the middle of nowhere.

                Does anybody care?

                Hiding is everybody, where?

                No, I think not.

                This job is not hot.

                

          Oh, I'm a long way from home.

         Yeah, I'm a long way from home.
