Crazy Town

Now that summer has shed her tears

Sun is sinking low

River’s bleeding yellow and orange

I’ve got nowhere to go

I ain’t got no home in this crazy town

I don’t recognize it when I look around

Everybody’s yelling it makes no sense to me

Get me to the river where this town I cannot see

When I’m on the river the music plays for me

I feel in tune almost like it’s where I’m meant to be

Until the trip is over and my feet hit the shore

It’s back to I ain’t got no home in this town anymore

I ain’t got no home in this crazy town

Strangers hurting strangers madness all around

I’m not optimistic this will ever end

Get me to the river with tomorrow ‘round the bend

When I’m on the river watching stars by firelight

I feel insignificant but everything’s just right

Until the trip is over and my feet hit the shore

It’s back to I ain’t got no home in this town anymore

When the music’s over set my spirit free

Light my canoe on fire and cast me in the stream

Sing a joyful song as my body turns to dust

Never again will my feet touch that earthly crust

Some bright morning when this life is over

I’ll fly away

To a land on that celestial shore

I’ll fly away

I’ll fly away old glory

I’ll fly away

When I die hallelujah by and by

I’ll fly away

When the shadows of this life have gone

I’ll fly away

Like a bird from these prison walls I’ll fly

I’ll fly away

I’ll fly away old glory

I’ll fly away

When I die hallelujah by and by

I’ll fly away

I’ll fly away old glory

I’ll fly away

When I die hallelujah by and by

I’ll fly away

I ain’t got no home in this crazy town

I don’t recognize it when I look around

Everybody’s yelling it makes no sense to me

Get me to the river where this town I cannot see

Get me to the river where tomorrow I can see
