A Long Ways Home From Anywhere

[D]I love crossing the Mississippi river it [G]runs so wide and [D]deep
The sun winks down between the spans at [A]me
[D]Tugboat sings down low beneath the pop [G]of the pavement brea[D]ks
Above that old West Memphis reve[A]rie
And I can see me [D]flying down i40, as the cam[G]era pulls awa[D]y
And the music swells with possibil[A]ities
And [D]maybe I'm just hoping, [G]as i wake up from my [D]dreams
Or maybe I just watch too much [A]TV

And I'm [G]going to Colorado, [D]living out of my car
I went off to find myself under[Em]neath the western s[A]tars
I ain't [G]going back to Nashville all a[D]lone where no one [G]cares,
And I'm a [D]long ways [A]home from [G]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

 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
