There were mountains and rivers
And valleys that stretched on and on forever
So I climbed and I swam and I crawled to get where I am
And now I can't find my way home

It never crossed my mind what I was leaving behind
My family my friends my whole life
Now the only way I can return is rebuild every bridge I've burned
And maybe some sweet day I'll find my way home
[ guitar ]
I never cared much bout where I came from
I just knew where I wanted to go
I was so young I felt so strong I never dreamed I could go so far wrong
But now I can't find my way home

It never crossed my mind...
[ steel - mandolin ]
It never crossed my mind...
Every night I pray I'll find my way home
