This song is pure gold and speaks to me
I just live here
Grew up somewhere far away
Come here thinking I'd never stay long
I'd be going back soon someday
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
Down the road to points unknown
Sending postcards when they get there
Wherever it is they think they're goin'
I just live here
Can't see that it matters much
I read the papers and I watch the nightly news
Who's to say I'm out of touch
Most of us just live here
Locals long since moved away
Sold the played-out farms for parking lots
Went off looking for a better way
Better times on down the road
Wonder if they ever got there
Wherever it was they thought they'd go
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
But people tell me
It's not like it used to be
They say I should have been here
Back about ten years
Before it got ruined by folks like me
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
Down the road to points unknown
Sending post cards when we get there
Wherever it is we think we'll go
