 E
 I love crossing the Mississippi River
     A                E
 She runs so wide and deep
 E                                       B
 The sun winks down between the spans at me
 E
 The tugboats sing down low and deep
             A                   E
 Beneath the pop of the pavement breaks
 E                               B
 I enter an old West Memphis reverie
              E
 I can see me flying down I-40
         A           E
 As the camera pulls away
                                   B
 And the music swells with possibility
 E
 Maybe I'm just hoping
      A               E

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



 As I wake up from my dreams
 E                               B
 Or maybe I just watch too much TV
              A
 But now I'm bound for Colorado
         E
 And I'm living out in my car
 E
 I went out to find myself
      F#                B
 Underneath the western stars
         A
 I ain't going back to Nashville
     E                   A
 All alone, where no one cares
            E        B             E   
 Now it's a long way home from anywhere
  E
 Steam is pumping smoke and money (?)
 A                          E
 But that ain't no life for me
 E                                            B
 I'll never make another day's living with my hands
             E                             A             E
 But the big trucks roll and maybe they go back to Tennessee
 E                                       B
 Tell my Daddy that I've done the best I can
              A
 But now I'm bound for Colorado
         E    
 And I'm living out in my car
 E
 I went out to find myself
       F#                B
 And I found myself in a bar
          A
 I ain't going back to Nashville
     E                   A
 All alone, where no one cares
            E        B           A        E
 Now it's a long way home from anywhere

 SOLO
  
 E
 Now one day I drink whiskey
     A                 E
 And another day I get stoned
 E                                      B
 And I tell my lies to guys down on the street
      E
 Some days I start driving
         A               E
 Till I just can't go no more
 E                                          B
 Then I stop and let some guy  tell lies to me
               A
 But now I'm bound for Colorado
         E    
 And I'm living out in my car
 E
 I went out to find myself
       F#                B
 And I found myself in a bar
          A
 I ain't going back to Nashville
     E                   A
 All alone, where no one cares
            E        B         E
 Now it's a long way home from anywhere
