Long Way Home From Anywhere

INTRO: I love crossin' the Mississippi River she runs so wide and deep The sun winks down between the spans at me The tug boats sing down low beneath the pop of the pavement breaks I enter an old west Memphis reverie, I can see me Flyin' down I-40 as the camera pulls away And the music swells with possibilities Maybe I'm just hopin' as I wake up from my dreams Or maybe I've just watched too much T.V., hey CHORUS 1: But now I'm bound for Colorado, and I'm livin' out in my car I went out to find myself underneath the western stars I ain't goin' back to Nashville, all alone where no one cares Now it's a long way home from anywhere Steel mills pumpin smoke and money but that ain't the life for me I'll never make another day's livin' with my hands But the big trucks keep on rollin' maybe they go back to Tennessee Tell my daddy that I done the best I can, yeah CHORUS 2: But now I'm bound for Colorado and I'm livin' out in my car I went out to find myself and I found myself in a bar I ain't goin' back to Nashville all alone where no one cares And it's a long way home from anywhere SOLO Oh one day I drink whiskey and another day I get stoned And I tell lies to the guys down on the street And then somedays I start drivin' 'til I just can't go no more Then I stop and let some guy tell lies to me CHORUS 2
