I'm not gonna say that I'm sorryDon't you judge me 
'cause I gotta have it my way
Heaven have mercy on me,
Send an angel or leave me alone
Cause I am a long way from home
It is a long way from home
But it just don't matter to me
Heaven have mercy on me on the day that I die,
For I'm nothing more but a human, you see
Don't knock on my door as a stranger
Lean in closely to tear off a piece of my soul
Take it and waste it away
Like the ocean turns ashes to foam
And pulls our emotions into the unknown
It is a long way from home
(it is along way from home)
But it doesn't matter to me
(I'm gonna do what I please)
Heaven have mercy on me on the day that I fold
As long as I don't have to beg on my knees
It is a long way from home
(it is a long way from home)
But it doesn't matter to me
(Won't see me begging oh please)
Heaven have mercy on me on the day that I fold
But until that day I will do what I, do what I
Heaven's a long way from home
(heaven's a long way from home)
But it doesn't matter to me
(It doesn't matter to me)
Won't you have mercy on me on the day that I fold
But until that day I will do what I please
