Lyrics
The skies are taller in Louisiana
The skies are wider in New Mexico
The skies in Texas kinda split the difference
They don't suit me no matter where I go
I ain't got a place
I ain't got a place in this world
I ain't got a place
I ain't got a place in this world I know
Rivers run east out of West Virginia
Rivers run west down in Tennessee
A river runs north out of South Dakota
None of that makes a damn to me
I ain't got a place
I ain't got a place in this world
I ain't got a place
I ain't got a place in this world I know
You ask me where I'm comin' from
I'm not sure I can say
You ask me where I'm headed I'll just grin
Don't ask too many questions
An’ 'I'll be comin' back to stay
You know not to ask me where I've been
I'm lookin' up at a constellation
Lookin' down at the frozen ground
Lookin' out for all my interests
Lookin in just brings me down
I ain't got a place
I ain't got a place in this world
I ain't got a place
I ain't got a place in this world, you know
I ain't got a place
I ain't got a place in this world
I ain't got a place
I ain't got a place in this world I know
