Far, Far Away

Was in the town of Loredo,

I couldn't stay another day I had to go

I had no money, I had no booze

and every game I played I always seemed to lose

Margery she told me, "Dear,

there's many things you shouldn't hear.

I'll write you when you settle down

they'll be no due you need to pay, far, far away

I hit the road in the rain

my engine pumping fast and an aching in my brain

I heard a tune on the radio

it was about a guy that joined the rodeo

I passed a town with a water tower

and a mill that processed corn flower

a dog was barking by an old oak tree

and I lived another day, far, far away

I needed sleep, I'd traveled far

pulling in a rest stop I slept inside my car

I dreamed I was a bird in the sky

I saw every little movement with my eye

I landed high upon a tree, I felt for once that I was free

I woke up sweating in a parking lot

and I knew I had to stay, far, far away
