Waylon Jennings made this song popular back in the sixties, written by Garland Perry (Hank) Cochran. I believe this song is more of a reflection of a spritual displacement than a physical one...

Story behind the song
Waylon was in a movie in 1966, called Nashiville Rebel. The tempo used for the song was much slower, which conveyed more of a sadness. I wanted to convey more of a desperation, so I chose a faster tempo for the song......whether I accomplished that or not......well....I leave that to you.
Lyrics
I'm A Long Way From Home Hank Cochran Refrain G A I'm a long way from home G A And so all alone G A D Homesick, like I never thought I'd be G A I'm a long way from home G A And everything is wrong G A D Someone, please watch over me D D7 G I'm not accustomed to these feelings A D The lonliness is burning my soul D D7 G Sometimes the mind is so misleading A D I wish I'd stayed at home like I was told Refrain Break D D7 G A D D D7 G A D Refrain D D7 G I wish I knew the force within me A D That keeps my mind out of control D D7 G What makes me reach for things I can't see A D I wish I'd stayed at home like I was told Refrain Break G A G A G A D G A G A G A D
