Makin' My Way Back Home Lyrics - Sing The Delta - 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
