Where I Come From

Where I Come From - New Riders Of The Purple Sage/David Nelson/Robert Hunter

Where I come from

You can read by the light of a star

Pass the map mahoney

It can't be all that far

I would know it anywhere

Sight unseen we're almost there

This smells like the air

Where I come from

Where I come from

All the roads are rocky and steep

And you aren't judged by

The company you keep

I would know you anywhere

Salt-sea breezes in your hair

No one to compare

Where I come from

Where I come from

Smack on the demarcator line

If the sun don't rise you know

Won't be for lack of trying

Fed-up rehearsing my part

Gonna wing this one right from the heart

Only place to start

Where I come from

Where I come from

Used to be a border state

Nothing but my own reflection

On the dinner plate

Tonight I choose to dine alone

Me and the dog might share a bone

We don't waste a crumb

Where I come from

Where I come from

It's lonely one with love and peace

Sleep light up to record

Then even when you sleep

Only lonely the thing that's taught in school

Love you can and don't be cool

That's school a song

Where I come from

I was calling

I'm not calling right

Only ever what it was

I do will share

Free to come and free to go

The lonely life I can't know

And only target to throw

Where I come from
