Capo 2nd

I've driven myself round this nation a bit
And there's something that you carry with it
And that something
Pulls you farther still

And it reaches in
And it digs deep inside
It's a want to move on, it's a will to survive
And takes everything out of you

I'll pack my bags and I'll leave in the morning
And thank you so much for the food and stories
I'll spread them far across the world

I'll listen to music and write up my own
And I'll make something good to tell mom on the phone
And I hope she's doing well and all

Well I'm walking on this road
Looking for something that I call home
And I wish that you could come along

And maybe it's the way you begged me to stay
That made me want to leave again

Leaves of grass are all Kansas has
But you got to get past that for the riverbed
And the Mississippi opens up for you

From St. Louis down to New Orleans
The friends and the family and shows in between
It makes every hour worth it here

And sure you may hit some bumps in the road
Suspension gives out and you got no way home
But you still have your heart beating strong

And you've got friends all over this state
From your travels before, and help's not too late
Your alive, and you want to prove it all

Well I'm walking on this road
Looking for something that I call home
And I wish that you could come along

And maybe it's the way you begged me to stay
That made me want to leave again
