lyrics

Was in the town of Laredo,
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
there'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
