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
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
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
