Way Back In The Way Back When
Set our sights on some distant landWay back in the way back whenPacked our troubles in an old pack tentWay back in the way back whenSpoke the language 'til we knew what it meantWay back in the way back whenPrayed to God he had a hand to lendWay back in the way back when
We were livin', breathin'Broken, battered but believin'Way back, way backWay back in the way back when
We set out on a road that had no endWay back in the way back whenCrossed the deserts in our caravanWay back in the way back whenBuilt our homes on the shiftin' sandWay back in the way back whenI love you, darlin', and I won't pretendWay back in the way back when
We were livin', breathin'Broken, battered but believin'Way back, way backWay back in the way back when
We walked some hard roadsWe took some hard roadsDrifted up on the wrong shoreBeen shown out the back doorBeen told to keep movin'Signs ain't improvin'Showin' up on the wrong sideBut nobody's gonna break my strideNobody's gonna break my strideNobody's gonna break my strideNobody's gonna break my strideNobody's gonna break my stride
So I dressed myself up in thicker skinWay back in the way back whenListened to no one but the gods withinWay back in the way back whenI sang my song 'til I knew what it meantWay back in the way back whenPrayed to God he had a hand to lendWay back in the way back when
We were livin', breathin'Broken, battered but believin'Way back, way backWay back in the way back when
I'll keep moving onI'll keep moving on
