Phoenix, Arizona
Albuquerque, New Mexico
The Navajo
The American Indian
The first inhabitants of Americana
I miss my baby, I miss my wife
I miss my home and the quiet, quiet life
All the things we love seem so far away
But here temptation stares me in the face
Go back to the room, turn Johnny Carson on
It's early morning there but I think I'm gonna phone
Home
Calling home
Calling home
See my friends
I left my country but now I'm torn
I miss the place where I was born
Tired of lying politics
News being doctored, same old tricks
Now I'm restless, born to roam
Destination still unknown
Home
Calling home
Calling home
Every time I hear that lonesome train roll down the track
Going away to unknown destination
Now I was in New Orleans
By the Mississippi River
It seems that all the music that inspired me started here
And drifted up the big river to become rock and roll
There was a voice starting to emerge in the songs
That came from within me
Pushing me somewhere
But I missed home
The calls back home
And time and place
Didn't seem to matter anymore
And is the shadow on the sidewalk someone like you?
It's time you made your getaway
