I love crossin' the Mississippi River she runs so wide and deep
  The sun winks down between the spans at me
  The tugboats sing down low beneath the pop of the pavement breaks
  I enter an old West Memphis reverie
  I can see me flying down I-40 as the camera pulls away
  And the music swells with possibilities
  Maybe I'm just hopin' as I wake up from my dreams
  Or maybe I've just watched too much T.V.
  
  But now I'm bound for Colorado and I'm living out in my car
  I went out to find myself underneath the western stars
  I ain't going back to Nashville all alone where no one cares
  Now it's a long way home from anywhere
  
  Steel mills pumping smoke and money but that ain't no life for me
  I'll never make another days livin' with my hands
  But the big trucks roll and maybe they go back to Tennessee
  Tell my daddy that I done the best I can
  
  But now I'm bound for Colorado and I'm living out in my car
  I went out to find myself and I found myself in a bar
  I ain't going back to Nashville all alone where no one cares
  Now it's a long way home from anywhere
  
  Oh one day I drink whiskey and another day I get stoned
  And I tell my lies to guys down on the street
  And then somedays I start drivin' till I just can't go no more
  Then I stop and let some guy tell lies to me
  
  But now I'm bound for Colorado and I'm living out in my car
  I went out to find myself and I found myself in a bar
  I ain't going back to Nashville all alone where no one cares
  Now it's a long way home from anywhere
  
  Now it's a long way home from anywhere
