By The Time I Get To Phoenix lyrics

I'm sittin' in the railway station got a ticket for my destination

On a tour of one night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand

Every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one man band
Homeward bound I wish I was homeward bound

Home where my thought's escaping home where the music's playing

Home where my love was waitin' silently for me

Well I'm fallin' just about as far as I'm gonna fall

Well I've never been this slow before that I recall

And I'm gettin' tired of people picking on me
And I ain't a goin' down from here wait and see

There's gonna be a new dawn and a new day

From this moment on things are gonna break my way

I'm gonna wear a new smile and a new face

And then I'm goin' out and get back in the race

Ain't been in Little Rock but two weeks and here I am now

Packing up and disappearing into thin air

Girls in Little Rock are cute but I can't make my heart take root
Cause bad seed won't grow just anywhere

I need lots of sunshine I need lots of raindrops and I need to breathe the open air

I hope to beg your pardon your town just ain't my garden

Bad seed won't grow just anywhere
