Bruce Robison, A Long Ways Home From Anywhere.
A long ways home from Anywhere
B.Robison
tabbed by John Lofgren, Oviedo Fl.
DI love crossing the Mississippi river it Gruns so wide and Ddeep
The sun winks down between the spans at Ame
DTugboat sings down low beneath the pop Gof the pavement breaDks
Above that old West Memphis reveArie
And I can see me Dflying down i40, as the camGera pulls awaDy
And the music swells with possibilAities
And Dmaybe I'm just hoping, Gas i wake up from my Ddreams
Or maybe I just watch too much ATV
And I'm Ggoing to Colorado, Dliving out of my car
I went off to find myself underEmneath the western sAtars
I ain't Ggoing back to Nashville all aDlone where no one Gcares, 
And I'm a Dlong ways Ahome from Ganywhere
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

Bruce Robison, A Long Ways Home From Anywhere.

A long ways home from Anywhere

.Robison

tabbed by John Lofgren, Oviedo Fl.

D G D

I love crossing the Mississippi river it runs so wide and deep

The sun winks down between the spans at me

D G D

Tugboat sings down low beneath the pop of the pavement breaks

Above that old West Memphis reverie

D G D

And I can see me flying down i40, as the camera pulls away

And the music swells with possibilities

D G D

And maybe I'm just hoping, as i wake up from my dreams

Or maybe I just watch too much TV

G D

And I'm going to Colorado, living out of my car

Em A

I went off to find myself underneath the western stars

G D G

I ain't going back to Nashville all alone where no one cares,

D A G

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
