Makin' My Way Back Home - Iris DeMent

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 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

All those things that held me down

Well they just don’t matter anymore

All those things that held me down

Well they just don’t matter anymore
