Текст Iris DeMent – Makin’ My Way Back Home

Makin’ my way back home
It’s been the longest time
Not since I was a little child
Have I felt so good and fine

I wore pretty dresses and teased my hair
Sang my heart out in those songs
Good or bad, I done my best
You can’t tell me I was wrong

Makin’ my way back home
It’s been the longest time
Not since I was a little child
Have I felt so good and fine
The easiest thing I’ve ever done
Like walking through an open door
All those things that held me down
Well they just don’t matter anymore

I see the shadows of my life
Cast upon the level land
Rosy lengthening of day
Finds my feet in native sand

Makin’ my way back home
It’s been the longest time
Not since I was a little child
Have I felt so good and fine
The easiest thing I’ve ever done
Like walking through an open door
