James McMurtry - I Ain't Got A Place lyrics

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 A 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 [bridge] 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 I'll be coming back to stay You know not to ask me where I've been 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 . .
