Far From Home

Hey Mom
I am far from home
Do you miss me?
Yeah I really miss you
Hey Dad
What's been going on? Tell me, how's my brothers? How's my sister?
Lately, I feel so far away
I'm too old to be your baby anymore
And I've colored in my skin
Yeah, I know how much you hate that
But it's part of who I am, and that's for sure

Chorus
So I'm leaving you
But I'll be home soon
Don't cry
You know I love you
Gotta see the world
But I'm still your girl
And I'm fine
I'll always love you.

Hey friend
Caught a movie by myself
It's not the same, yeah
It's no fun without you
Some days
I feel like somebody else
Some kind of stranger
When I'm not around you
So I guess I'll hit the road
Never know where I am going
Every city different than the day before
But I'll call you on the phone
How I love to hear you talking
Gets me through the dark and that's for sure

Please don't forget that I'm thinking of you
Your fingerprint's on everything that I do
Please don't be lonely cause I'm coming home
I'll be back before you ever knew I was gone
Well, I gotta hit the road
I'm so tired, but I'm going
Cause a dreamer never sleeps and that's for sure
