Marty Stuart - Far Away Lyrics

Fields are deathly silent
Where the cotton used to grow
I'm a stranger in a land
That I used to know
A land, a land I've not forgotten
Look away, far away

Everything is changin'
'Cept some things inside me
I've hid them from the world
Kept them under lock and key
Like the sound of my mama's voice
Calling me back home
To the place where I belong

Far away, far away
Don't know why I've left here
Look how long I've stayed
Far away, far away
How'd I get so far away?

Carved my name on Sunday mornin'
On a sweet magnolia tree
I cried when I walked away
It broke my heart to leave
Took that little piece of it
And put it in my pocket
I've lost myself a time or two
But I ain't never forgot it
Far away, far away
How'd I get so far away?

Far away, far away
How'd I get so far away?
How did I get so far away?
