A Long Way Home

I was coming home, in a yellow bus
But the bus broke down, and stranded us

It was a long, long, long, long, long way home
So I hopped a train, coming down the line
the caboose came loose, I got left behind

It was a long, long, long, long, long way home
So I found a boat, by the riverbank
but we hit a rock, and it promptly sank

Then I took a jet, but I couldn’t pay

Oh my parachute, kept me safe from harm
but I landed in a tree, on the neighbor’s farm

So I jumped on a horse, but it threw a shoe
And I had to walk, back home to you

So I’m sorry mom, that I’m home so late
And the dinner’s cold, and I made you wait

And the dinner’s cold and I made you wait
It’s just a long, long, long, long, long way home
