I came a long way to nowhere I came a long way alone I knew I didn't need the things That people talk of And now I've made it on my own I came a long way to nothin' I left all small things behind Those things like friends at home And loved ones My God, I must've been so blind I needed no one to drag me down Or hang around wantin' their share No, I wanted nothin' from no one That way givin' nothin' would be fair I came a long way to nowhere I came a long way to see The things I've earned like hate and sadness And despair Yes, now they all belong to me Yes, now they all belong to me
