One Step Closer To Home Lyrics

Well, back in '75When the kid was on the lineAnd he felt no pain'Cause there was noneHe would bend in the windTake in anythingLike sniffin' rosesAnd it was alrightUntil he fellAnd cut his handHe just could not understandHe'd run awayBlame pretenseFor defenceOr plain innocenceSay that's alrightThe harder it fightsI'm one step closer to homeThe deeper it bitesI'm one step closer to homeAnd you can tie my handsOr whip my backI can't give in'Til the sky turns blackI may get lostI'm ONE STEP CLOSER TO HOMEOh yeah he ranHitched, ridesTravelled lightLeft his bags behindSaid he'd lost themHe said that's O.K.I get money and a smileFrom place to placeAnd they don't mindI've had the heads of business men and I just gave themRight back againI've got no needFor device, disguiseOr for their compromiseSaid that's airightThe tougher it getsI'm one step closer to homeThe more that I sweatI'm one step closer to homeAnd you can tie my handsOr whip my backI can't give in'Til the sky turns blackI may get lostI'm ONE STEP CLOSER TO HOMEThere ain't no need for this at all, at allSurely you can help me outSay, I know a lot of people just like youPlently to live for and nothing to loseSo tear it all downSmash it all upBreak it all down and then justBuild it upBuild it upAh now build it upOh you build it up (Build it up)Ah now build it up (Build it up)Ah build it upBuild it up, Build it up, Build it up, up, up, upAnd the tougher it getsAnd the more that I sweatAnd the harder it fightsAnd the deeper it bitesI'm one step closer to homeAnd the harder it fightsI'm one step closer to homeAnd you can tie my handsOr whip my backI can't give in'Til the sky turns blackI may get lostI'm ONE STEP CLOSER TO HOME
