buffalo river home

Lyrics

i've been taking off and landing, but this airport's closed, and how much thicker this fog is gonna get, god only knows, just when you think that you've got a grip, reality sneaks off, it gives you the slip, as if you ever knew what it was, takin' you down the lime, tearing through the cotton fields and bus shelters, of the south runnin' helter skelter, down through the mississippi delta, with no place to call your own, mixing up drinks with mixed feeling, all along the paint was peeling, down to an indian blanket on a pony, with no rider in the flesh and bone, lookin' for his buffalo river home, i've been circling the wagons, down at time square, trying to fill up this hole in my soul, but nothing fits there, just when you think you can let it rip, you're pounding the pavement in your daddy's wingtips, as if you had someplace else to go, or a better way to get there, tearing through the cotton fields and bus shelters, of the south runnin' helter skelter, down through the mississippi delta, with no place to call your own, mixing up drinks with mixed feeling, all along the paint was peeling, down to an indian blanket on a pony, with no rider in the flesh and bone, lookin' for his buffalo river home, now there's only two things in life, but i forget what they are, it seems we're either hangin' on a moonbeam's coattails, or wishing on stars, just when you think that you've been gyped, the bearded lady comes and does a double back flip, and you run off and join the circus, yeah you just let that pony ride, tearing through the cotton fields and bus shelters, of the south runnin' helter skelter, down through the mississippi delta, with no place to call your own, mixing up drinks with mixed feeling, all along the paint was peeling, down to an indian blanket on a pony, with no rider in the flesh and bone, lookin' for his buffalo river home, lookin' for his buffalo river home
