Tabbed by John Lofgren

D5                                        G5                D5
I love crossing the Mississippi river it runs so wide and deep
                                        A5
The sun winks down between the spans at me
D5                                      G5                   D5
Tugboat sings down low beneath the pop of the pavement breaks
                                A5
Above that old West Memphis reverie
                 D5                          G5            D5
And I can see me flying down i40, as the camera pulls away
                                  A5
And the music swells with possibilities
    D5                      G5                    D5
And maybe I'm just hoping, as i wake up from my dreams
                               A5
Or maybe I just watch too much TV


        G5                  D5                
And I'm going to Colorado, living out of my car
                               E5                 A5             
I went off to find myself underneath the western stars
        G5                            D5                 G5
I ain't going back to Nashville all alone where no one cares, 
          D5         A5         G5  
And I'm a long ways home from anywhere

Steamers puffing pumping money
This ain't the life for me
I'll never make another day's living with my hands
maybe those big old trucks rolling by
Will go back to Tennessee
Tell my daddy that I done the best I can

Chorus:
 And I'm going to Colorado, living out of my car
 I went off to find myself and I found myself in a bar,
 I ain't going back to Nashville all alone where no one cares, 
 And I'm a long ways off from anywhere

Some days I drink whiskey and some days I get stoned
And I tell my lies to guys down on the street
And some days I start driving till I just can't drive no more
Then I stop and let some guy tell lies to me

Chorus
