Lyrics A Long Way from Home - The Kinks

A Long Way from Home

You’ve come a long way from the runny-nosed and scruffy kid I knew
You had such good ways
I can remember the little things that always made you smile
They made you happy
Now you think you’re wiser because you’re older
And you think that money buys everything
And you think you need no one to guide you
But you’re still a long way from home
You’ve come a long way, you’re self-assured and dressed in funny clothes
But you don’t know me
I hope you find what you are looking for
With your car and handmade overcoats
But your wealth will never make you stronger
'Cos you’re still a long way from home
Yes, you’re still a long way from home
