hey can you see that this is not the easiest way
I could hardly say some day I'll miss this pack on my back
or this toilsome track

chorus 1:
through these thorn covered thickets
lies the longer way home
I must pass through the night
I'm on the longer way home

see how the straight and narrow path winds endlessly
I would scarcely think some day I'll miss this dust in my eyes
or the lonesome cries

chorus 1

chorus 2:
through these hard jagged mountains
lies the longer way home
I must cross in the night
I'm on the longer way home

bridge:
a bitter wind blows in my face
as I walk down this road
wandering from place to place
will I ever be home

chorus 1

chorus 2

Billy: keyboards, bridge vocals
Dane: guitars, drums, bass, vocals

Dane wrote the verses and chorus and recorded those parts of the song. Then Billy, wanting to get in on the act, wrote and recorded the bridge. Inspired by a sermon by Tim Walker at First Baptist Church, Tecumseh, November, 2004.
