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.
TF#M hey still apply to me,F#M 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...
