lyrics

Well it’s three miles to the next station
But it’s a long and winding road
Thumbin’ rides and my situation’s like
A box of half burnt smokes
Gettin' tired of the whole thing
It all starts to look the same
I guess I’m so damn used to the way it was
I can’t remember how to change

But I don’t wanna be a cowboy ridin’ into the sun
I don’t wanna be a drifter a man on the run
I don’t wanna be a sweet child lyin’ in your arms
I just wanna take the lonesome road back to where I’m from

Well I’m stompin’ boots shakin’ dirty jeans
Into the parlor down the way and it was
Jimmy Rodgers on the jukebox machine singin’
“Waiting For a Train”
Feelin’ anxious and I don’t know why
I can’t enjoy a quiet glass
I guess I’m so damn used to the way it was
That I just can’t let it pass

Well the sun’s sinkin’ now it’s haingin’ low
Paintin’ portrait’s in the sky and I’m
Still drinkin’ still faidin’ slow drownin’ portraits in my mind
Feelin’ sorry bout the whole thing but I just can’t figure why
I guess I’m so damn used to the way it was
Gets me feelin’ like I could die
