A Long Ways Home From Anywhere Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

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
