On My Way Lyrics

I been humming along to the same old blues

Running along to the same old tunes

Itching to be getting to the west coast sun

Momma said I need to get food and rest

Poppa said I ain't really looking my best

My sister and brother said how far you gonna run?

I said right until they build a train track

To your door

I'm never coming back

I can't take it anymore

Take one ticket and I'm out the door

The whistle ain't blowing for me no more

I keep digging myself into a brand new hole

Covered in soil and ancient bones

Scratching at the roots to simply no avail

Quicksand sucking me in too deep

There's blood on my hands and lead in my feet

They're trying to track me down but I leave no trail

Right until they build a railroad

To your door

I'm outta this single stoplight town

You can't see me no more

Oklahoma summer and Washington rain

From the tip of the Rockies to the sprawling plains

Pacific Atlantic salty sea

Just know that you've seen the last of me

Tennessee whisky California wine

Wasting everything except my time

Palisade peaches Vermont cheese

Just know you've seen the last of me

Right until they build a railroad

To your door

I'm outta this single stoplight town

You can't see me no more
