Long Way Home From Anywhere(Chords)

	        INTRO: E 

E                                         A                E 
I love crossin' the Mississippi River she runs so wide and deep 
                                        B7 
The sun winks down between the spans at me 
    E                                   A                   E 
The tug boats sing down low beneath the pop of the pavement breaks 
                                B7 
I enter an old west Memphis reverie, I can see me 
E                        A             E 
Flyin' down I-40 as the camera pulls away 
                                  B7 
And the music swells with possibilities 
E                           A               E 
Maybe I'm just hopin' as I wake up from my dreams 
   E                                B7 
Or maybe I've just watched too much T.V., hey 


CHORUS 1: 
             A                          E 
But now I'm bound for Colorado, and I'm livin' out in my car 
                              F#                     B 
I went out to find myself underneath the western stars 
        A                             E                 A 
I ain't goin' back to Nashville, all alone where no one cares 
           E         B7           E 
Now it's a long way home from anywhere 


Steel mills pumpin smoke and money but that ain't the life for me 
I'll never make another day's livin' with my hands 
But the big trucks keep on rollin' maybe they go back to Tennessee 
Tell my daddy that I done the best I can, yeah 


CHORUS 2: 

But now I'm bound for Colorado and I'm livin' out in my car 
I went out to find myself and I found myself in a bar 
I ain't goin' back to Nashville all alone where no one cares 
And it's a long way home from anywhere 

SOLO 

Oh one day I drink whiskey and another day I get stoned 
And I tell lies to the guys down on the street 
And then somedays I start drivin' 'til I just can't go no more 
Then I stop and let some guy tell lies to me 

CHORUS 2
