Somewhere Far Away

I like the seasons for all kinds of reasons
The way that they change, the trees and the leaves on ‘em
Makes me feel like I’m somewhere far away

I like the lights on the wings of a jetliner
As they blink out, and they cut through the cloud cover
Makes me feel like I’m somewhere far away

I like to hear a train whistle sing to me
As it grows near, and the plain song it brings to me
Makes me feel like I’m somewhere far away

Everyone says that I’m dyin’
Livin’ too fast
‘Cause I like to watch a bottle get empty
The way that I feel when I’ve had a few in me
Makes me feel like I’m somewhere far away

Your eyes are so brown, I can see the green in them
Just like shallow water, in a lake in Virginia
Makes me feel like I’m somewhere far away
Like I’m somewhere far away, like I’m somewhere far away
