Not been here since I was a boy
The sky unwrapped, the world my toy
A movie reel, a million miles long
On and on
Scene after scene passes by life
The window's a wound
The road is a knife
The irony asked me
"Where have you been?"
I don't know, I don't know
Because I don't know where to begin
Too much to do too much to see
Pictures to take, people to meet
When there's so much space in between
It overwhelms me
Scene after scene passes by life
The window's a wound
And the road is a knife
The irony asked me
"Where have you been?"
I don't know I don't know
Because I don't know where to begin
Not been here since I was a boy
Now a heart full of fear and a mask of painted joy
So much for these youthful eyes to see
So much for peace and tranquility
One prairie outpost you are how I feel
Alone in a flatland 'tween the dream and the real
The irony asked me
"Where have you been?"
I don't know, I don't know
Because I don't know where to begin
I don't know where to begin
