James Mcmurtry - I'm Not From Here

I'm not from here


I just live here


grew up somewhere far away


come 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 postcards when they get there


wherever it is they think they're goin'





I'm not from here


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





nobody's from here


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





onto some bright future somewhere


better times on down the road


wonder if they ever got there


wherever it was 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 have 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 we think we'll go
