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
