Dr. John - A Little Closer To My Home Lyrics

I've been runnin'
Lookin' for a mirror
Just to see my hope fade
'Cause I know that even my own company
Beats bein' alone in this old lonely place
That's why I'm headin'
Woah, a little closer to my home
I'm headin', oh a little closer to my home
I'm headin' a little closer to my home
'Cause this Earth ain't no place
I'm proud to call my own

I look in the mirror
Strange eyes look back at me
Oh and I wonder
What can the matter be?
Sorrow my own, my own
Loneliness so far from home
And I'm wonderin' where
In my life I've gone wrong

But I'm gonna sit in pity
Oh, a little closer to my home
I'm headin' a little closer to my home
I'm headin', oh, a little closer to my home
'Cause this old Earth ain't no place that I'm proud to call my own

Just headin', woah, a little closer to my home
I'm headin' a little closer to my home
I'm headin' a little closer to my home

Because this Earth ain't no place I'm proud to call my, my own
