Recorded on March 24, 2007 at HairyLarryLand Credits: Producer - Larry Heyl Performer - Hairy Larry Comments: I wrote this song when recording "For My Dad" and it's been one of my favorites. I could hear the part "When e'er I roam So far from home" in my head so I knew there had to be lyrics for it. When I picked up my guitar the moring of March 23 "So Far From Home" came tumbling out so I decided to try for the lyrics. About an hour later, mixed in with eating and email, I had them. I added a bridge before I finished the lyrics because I knew I needed one as soon as I started singing. I like the universality of the sentiment and the archaic folk style. Lyrics: So Far From Home copyright 2006/2007 by Larry Heyl Oh How I miss the kindly faces Of my family and friends When e'er I roam So far from home. I long to see familiar places Where e'er my path doth wend When e'er I roam So far from home When my travels leave me weary And I need a place to rest. There's nowhere I would rather be Than that place I love best. And so I count how many paces Til my journey's at an end When e'er I roam So far from home.
