Dear Thomas Wolfe

These things they happened a long time ago We're different people now and things have changed But no you're wrong If anything we're still the same Thomas Wolfe was right when he said You can't go home again. It's off to Nebraska It's off to Maine It's off to Nebraska It's off to Maine We only had ten dollars to our name It was not enough to get us home What was I thinking trusting you? My family was right all along Dear devil on my shoulder I've got news for you I'm off to Nebraska Off to Maine I'm off to Nebraska Off to Maine I gave up smoking And Saint Paul for a name I forgot my ticket out And I was late for the plane I used to like the quiet life And the traffic light's refrain Mr. Garrett Morgan I'm always stop and go I am off to Nebraska I'm off to Maine Crossing over Wenatchee And into outer space
