Trailing out behind me far into the southern sun Are the footprints of a man who witnessed how the west was done His past was long forgotten, his future wasn't thought up yet Just a man, a rock, an island, walking towards the next sunset Peace had never found him, love had seldom crossed his path All the comfort that he needed he could carry on his back For years he walked the mountains, from crashing foam to crashing foam Hoping every footstep forward was another footstep towards his Home, Lord I'm home And it's alright with me, it's alright with me Take it slow, take it slow Slower baby, slower baby No man brave enough to cross him, no girl's heart too hard to break His own was torn apart in Texas by a girl he couldn't take So he left early one morning and he never turned around He swore he'd never stop his walking until he ran out of ground So from the lakes of Minnesota, to the sands of Florida From the shores of California, to the streets of old Georgia He always kept his distance, never stayed in one place long His feet were always moving to the rhythm of an old and lonesome song Oh Lordy, my trouble so hard Oh Lordy, my trouble so hard Oh Lordy, I feel so alone Oh Lordy, won't you take me Take me home Lord I'm home And it's alright with me, it's alright with me Take it slow, take it slow Slower baby, slower baby His reason to keep moving was to leave her far behind The truth was she was always with him in the corners of his mind Well everywhere he went he couldn't help but stop and say Dear God, I wish she was here, God I wish she could see this place And everywhere he went he couldn't help but hear All of her favorite old songs and the way she called his name And he knew he had to quiet down his memory But the only place loud enough to drown her out was at the bottom At the bottom of the sea So with rocks tied onto his wrists, on the bow of a ship One last prayer to a God that he'd forgotten He sank down, down, down, down, down To the bottom, to the bottom And finally, he was free, he was Home, Lord I'm home And it's alright with me, it's alright with me Take it slow, take it slow Slower baby, slower baby
