It was a long, long, long, long, long way home.











Z and I had quite the adventure trying to get to Iowa....8 hours at the airport on Wednesday, and we didn't even board a plane until Thursday morning. But we finally made it!

Long Way Home
Tom Chapin

I was comin' home, on a yellow bus,
When the bus broke down, and stranded us,
Comin' home on a yellow bus,

It was a long, long, long, long, long way home.

So I hopped a train, comin' down the line.
The caboose came loose, I got left behind.

So I found a boat, by the river bank,
But we struck a rock, and we promptly sank.

So I got picked up, by a submarine,
But they left me off, in the Philippines.

So I took a jet, but I couldn't pay,
So they threw me out, of the cargo bay.

My parachute, kept me safe from harm,
And I landed in a tree, on the neighbors' farm.

So I jumped 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 that dinner's cold, and I made you wait.
Sorry, Mom, that I'm home so late,
And that dinner's cold, and I made you wait.
It was just a long, long, long, long, long way home.
