Bruce Robison, A Long Ways Home From Anywhere.
A long ways home from Anywhere
.Robison
I love crossing the Mississippi river it runs so wide and deep
The sun winks down between the spans at me
Tugboat sings down low beneath the pop of the pavement breaks
Above that old West Memphis reverie
And I can see me flying down i40, as the camera pulls away
And the music swells with possibilities
And maybe I'm just hoping, as i wake up from my dreams
Or maybe I just watch too much TV
And I'm going to Colorado, living out of my car
I went off to find myself underneath the western stars
I ain't going back to Nashville all alone where no one cares,
And I'm a long ways home from anywhere
Steamers puffing pumping money
This ain't the life for me
I'll never make another day's living with my hands
maybe those big old trucks rolling by
Will go back to Tennessee
Tell my daddy that I done the best I can
Chorus:
And I'm going to Colorado, living out of my car
I went off to find myself and I found myself in a bar,
I ain't going back to Nashville all alone where no one cares,
And I'm a long ways off from anywhere
Some days I drink whiskey and some days I get stoned
And I tell my lies to guys down on the street
And some days I start driving till I just can't drive no more
Then I stop and let some guy tell lies to me
Chorus
