Way Back Home Lyrics

Jennifer Nettles

Gonna need some more gold, workin' as hard as I can
To build it, my next gilded cage with my own two hands
I've made some mistakes, I'm gonna make some more
But I'm clear they brought me here
A world worthy of makin' em for

I'm takin' off my armor, already cut to the bone
The prodigal daughter on her way back home

Burn the maps to this place, I don't need one anyway
I could find you by charting the lines to every smile on your glorious face
The past is behind me, always there to remind me
To haunt me, to scare me, to taunt me, and dare me to jump and fly

I'm takin' off my armor, already cut to the bone
The prodigal daughter on her way back home

I'm alive and wide awake
Better that my heart should break
Than forget how to feel
So here's to chance and something real

I belly up and they ask, girl, what do you have
Take one and double up, drown myself in the beautiful struggle of
A life well lived and a love worth learning
And a big heart to give to the one fiery soul who can handle my burning

I'm takin' off my armor, already cut to the bone
The prodigal daughter on her way back home, way back home

Gonna need some more gold, workin' as hard as I can
