A Long Ways Home From Anywhere Chords

(ver. 1)
Bruce Robison
Long Way Home From Anywhere--Bruce Robison
written by Bruce Robison
Probably my favorite Bruce Robison song...

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 

Now it's a long way home from anywhere
