Lyrics

Bloom where you were planted, Ain’t that what they always said
Oh, the life I took for granted, Once they put that in my head
30 years a layabout, A market makers pawn
God bless that day that I found out, There ain’t no place like gone

In the great cosmic expanse is a little dot that I called home
Well, that may work fine in Kansas, Don’t mean squat where I come from
I can’t join ‘em and I can’t beat ‘em, A bigger mortgage, a greener lawn
So, I chased a mist called freedom, And found there ain’t no place like gone

Adios is my boilerplate reply - Whisper “Ciao” to the merchandizing
If they don’t want to negotiate I'll point the bow to a new horizon

There ain’t no hope in yesterdays, or the rat race in Babylon
Hitch a tow rope to the Westerlies, ‘Cause there ain’t no place like gone

In the land of a thousand ills, Us dream-aholics ain’t got a prayer
But, there’s fools gold in them hills, And its just waiting for me there
A new road leads to paradise somewhere on the maps I’ve drawn
Another chance to roll the dice, Yeah, there ain’t no place like gone

Adios is my boilerplate reply - Au Revoir to the compromising
I won’t stop tempting fate, ‘til I see a pronghorn or a bison
There ain’t no hope in yesterdays or the rat race in Babylon
Hitch a tow rope to the Westerlies, ‘Cause there ain’t no place like gone

The sunrise peeks behind me
Orkney Island or Blue Nile Falls
Good luck trying to find me
Up on the Devil’s Tower Walls

Adios is my boilerplate reply - Cheerio to apologizing
I only hope I ain’t too late to catch a bad moon on the rising
There ain’t no hope in yesterdays or the rat race in Babylon
Hitch a tow rope to the Westerlies, ‘Cause there ain’t no place like gone
Hitch a tow rope to the Westerlies, ‘Cause there ain’t no place like gone
