What Are The Lyrics For I'm Not From Here By James McMurtry & the Heartless Bastards?
I'm not from here
I just live here Grew up somewhere far away Came here thinking I'd never stay long I'd be going back soon someday It's been a few years since I got here Seen `em come and I've seen `em go Crowds assemble, they hang out awhile Then they melt away like an early snow Onto some bright future somewhere Down the road to points unknown Sending post cards when they get there Wherever it is they think they're goin' I'm not from here I just live here Can't say that it matters much I read the papers and I watch the nightly news Who's to say I'm out of touch? Nobody's from here Most of us just live here locals long since moved away sold their played-out farms for parking lots went off looking for a better way Onto some bright future somewhere Better times on down the road Wonder if they ever got there Wherever it is they thought they'd go Hit my home town a couple years back Hard to say just how it felt But it looked like so many towns I might've been through on my way to somewhere else I'm not from here But people tell me it's not like it used to be They say I should've been here back about ten years Before it got ruined by folks like me We can't help it We just keep moving It's been that way since long ago Since the Stone Age, chasing the great herds We mostly go where we have to go Onto some bright future somewhere Down the road to points unknown Sending post cards when we get there Wherever it is they think we'll go |
