lyrics

EVERYWHERE I NEED TO BE

I slept next to the highway
with diesels in my dreams,
taking it out of Texas again
and I woke up to the dawn light
with mountains in my blood –
finally getting back where I belong again

Then I crossed over Raton
while the morning was still young,
I was thinking about the cities and ol' Townes
and the green of Colorado
took the breath from my lungs
while the wheels turned round and round and sang this song:

CHORUS:
O, I don't live in a house
but I always am at home
You can't find me where you think I'm s'posed to be
and I don't answer my phone
but you could leave a word at the beep
Don't you lose no sleep worrying about me:
Where I am is everywhere I need to be

You know the desert is an open place
with a high lonesome sound
It's where people go when they don't want to be found
and the mountains keep deep secrets
shared only with the sky,
way out beyond the wandering why

I saw an owl in the desert
and she had a lizard in her beak
standing by the highway not needing to speak
while the cactuses were blooming
and sunset painted the land –
these are things we all can understand CHORUS:

I might be in your town tomorrow,
it might be a couple of years
You know the road winds on forever far and near
Still I see you in the land and sky,
you're in everything I do
and I couldn't go the distance without you

Sure is good to tell a story
and to hear one in return
You know that's always been my favourite way to learn
So to all you rambling gypsies
with your stories up your sleeve:
I give thanks for your encouragement to leave CHORUS:
