Back in seventyfive when the kid was on the line
                               
and he felt no pain 'cause there was none
                               
He would bend in the wind, take in anything
                              
like sniffin' roses, and it was all right
                        
until he fell and cut his hand
                       
He just could not understand
                                  
He ran away, blame pretence for defence
         
or plain innocence

Said that's all right,
                                                
the harder it fights, I'm one step closer to home
                                                
The deeper it bites , I'm one step closer to home
                                   
And you can tie my hands or whip my back
                                   
I can't give in, till the sky turns black
                                            
I may get lost - I'm one step closer to home


ADADA Em G  (As in the Intro.)


                                
Oh yeah, he ran, hitched rides, travelled light
                            
left his bags behind, said he lost them
                         
He said that's O.K. I got money and a smile
                            
from place to place, and they don't mind
                            
I've had the heads of businessmen
                                 
and I just gave them right back again
                                 
I've got no need for device, disguise
         
or plain compromise

Said that's all right,
                                               
the tougher it gets, I'm one step closer to home
                                                 
the more that I sweat, I'm one step closer to home
                                   
And you can tie my hands or whip my back
                                   
I can't give in, till the sky turns black
                                            
I may get lost - I'm one step closer to home


                                          
   There ain't no need for this, at all, at all

   surely you can help me out, say
                         
   I know a lot of people, just like you
                      
plenty to live for and nothing to lose, so
                  
tear it all down, smash it all up
                                 
break it all down, and then just stop
               
build it up
              
build it up
              
build it up
                                           
and the tougher it gets and the more that I sweat
                                           
and the harder it fights and the deeper it bites


                           
I'm one step closer to home
              
the harder it fights
                      
I'm one step closer to home
                                   
And you can tie my hands or whip my back
                                   
I can't give in, till the sky turns black
                                            
I may get lost - I'm one step closer to home
