Forgotten Coast Lyrics - Complicated Game - James Mcmurtry

The skies are taller in Louisiana 

The skies are wider in New Mexico 

The skies in Texas kinda split the difference 

They don't suit me no matter where I go 

I ain't got a place 

I ain't got a place in this world 

I ain't got a place 

I ain't got a place in this world I know 

Rivers run east out of West Virginia 

Rivers run west down in Tennessee 

River runs north out of South Dakota 

None of that makes a damn to me 

I ain't got a place 

I ain't got a place in this world 

I ain't got a place 

I ain't got a place in this world I know 

You ask me where I'm coming from 

I'm not sure I can say 

You ask me where I'm headed, I'll just grin 

Don't ask too many questions, now be coming back to stay 

You know not to ask me where I've been 

Now I'm looking up at a constellation 

Looking down at the frozen ground 

Looking out for all my interests 

Looking in just brings me down 

I ain't got a place 

I ain't got a place in this world 

I ain't got a place 

I ain't got a place in this world I know
