[Verse 1]
N.C.
I've got these letters tattooed on my arm
That remind me each second of where I come from
And the C#mlong hard road to guide me back BhomeE  
EBack to my mama who raised me up right
AAnd back to my lady I held every night
C#mIt's a long hard road trying to get Bhome
I've been C#mgone now for too Blong
[Chorus]
I'm not trying to Estop a hurricane
EI'm not trying to Ashake the ground below
AI'm just trying to C#mfind a Bway to make it back Ahome
I'm not trying to Epart the ocean waves
EI'm not trying to ovAerthrow the throne
AI'm just trying to C#mfind a Bway to make it back Ahome
AI'm just trying to get Ehome
[Verse 2]
EI've got this image engraved in my mind
Of a Alight that I had in a whole different time
It still C#mbreathes and lives at the end of the Broad
I've seen Emountains and valleys through my missing days
But I Anever once parted with how you begged me to stay
I will C#mrun down that long hard and Btreacherous road to get Ahome
[Chorus]
EI'm not trying to stop a hurricane
AI'm not trying to shake the ground below
I'm just trying to C#mfind a Bway to make it back Ahome
I'm not trying to Epart the ocean waves
EI'm not trying to ovAerthrow the throne
AI'm just trying to C#mfind a Bway to make it back Ahome
AI'm just trying to get Ehome
[Bridge]
N.C.
I've been gone for so long
But my heart it carries on
As it pounds like a drum
On my journey back home
EI've been gone for so long
EBut my heart it carries on
C#mI won't give up
[Chorus]
I'm not trying to Estop a hurricane
EI'm not trying to Ashake the ground below
AI'm just trying to C#mfind a Bway to make it back Ahome
AI'm not trying to Epart the ocean waves
EI'm not trying to ovAerthrow the throne
AI'm just trying to C#mfind a Bway to make it back Ahome
AI'm just trying to get Ehome
EI'm just trying to get home [X2]

[Verse 1]

N.C.

I've got these letters tattooed on my arm

That remind me each second of where I come from

And the long hard road to guide me back home

Back to my mama who raised me up right

And back to my lady I held every night

I've been gone now for too long

[Chorus]

I'm not trying to stop a hurricane

I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home

A E

I'm just trying to get home

[Verse 2]

I've got this image engraved in my mind

Of a light that I had in a whole different time

C#m B

It still breathes and lives at the end of the road

I've seen mountains and valleys through my missing days

But I never once parted with how you begged me to stay

C#m B A

I will run down that long hard and treacherous road to get home

[Chorus]

I'm not trying to stop a hurricane

I'm not trying to shake the ground below

[Chorus]

I'm not trying to stop a hurricane
