Standard (EADGBE)

Travis McGee's still in Cedar Key

That's what old John MacDonald said.

My rendezvous's so long overdue,

with all of the things I've sung and I've read.

They still apply to me, they all make sense in time.

(Chorus:)

Now I'm incommunicado.

Drivin' by myself down the road with a hole in it,

Songs with no vibrato.

Takin' the long way home.

Now on the day that John Wayne died,

I found myself on the continental divide.

Tell me where do I go from here?

Think I'll ride in Leadville and have a few beers.

I think of "Red River" or "Liberty Valance"

can't believe the old man's gone.

But now he's incommunicado.

Leavin' such a hole in a world that believed

that a life with such bravado

was takin' the right way home.

So when I finished that last line,

I put the book by itself on the shelf with my heart in it.

Never wastin' time; takin' the right way home.

I know I'm never wastin' time, findin' the right way home.

Still I am incommunicado.

Livin' next door to a leg with a pin in it.

Life with such bravado,

takin' the right way home.

Tryin' to make it,

tryin' to fake it,

tryin' to take it home; (repeat 4 times)

But now I'm incommunicado...
