FAR FROM CAROLINA

anyone can travel
far from carolina
big ol jet airliner	slow boat to china
ticket to the sky	take it anywhere

anyone can ramble
down some lonesome highway	take the high road
start to get too dry,  hey...		or take the low road
let it all go by
		let it all go by...

		we are on a side road
		on horses that the kings rode
		and when the river wide's rowed
		we might just strike the main
		lode
				
anyone can paddle
up the mighty river		into some wide water
feel the first time shiver	good ol alma mater
feel it fade away

anyone can straddle
any great divide line		pick a side or pass time		
drink in deep the fine wine	where the spillflow's divine
try hard not to pay
		try hard not to pay...

		right outside the forest
		tomorrow is before us
		mumble through the chorus
		and get back on the tour
		bus

all the world's a wander	wonderful is so wide
all the wonder's inside  	wonder where the dreams hide
anyone can freeride
wave one hand for show

there's a far horizon
past the one we came for	past the one we ordered
there's a hundred names for	there's another border
the easy way to go









anyone can travel
far from north dakota		hibbing, minnesota
get out on the road, yeah,	driving round a skoda
like some epic poem

anyone can ramble
take off on a Friday		take off on a Friday
take the lonesome highway	take the lonesome highway
then take the road back home

take the road back home
take the road back home  
take the road back home
