Here I Go Again

Fell asleep on a Greyhound, woke up 300 miles from home
With the north wind dancing like Gene Kelly
The sky looking like rusted chrome
The bus wheels whining like a hard gambler on and on and on
Looks like here I go again flat broke at the break of dawn

I leaned across the isle and asked an older man Sir could you tell me the time of day
He just smiled and said Son I’m five minutes fast, I got 20 minutes to 8
I just closed my eyes and pictured you probably just now waking up
And I opened my eyes and for 35 years I just stared down into a whiskey cup
Stared down

Chorus:
I could almost hear the sound of one hand clapping
I could almost see the shadow of the wind
Oh memories make a lonely boy go crazy
And it looks like here I go again

Talked to a girl sittin’ next to me said I was going down to Tennessee
I told her I was a poet, she said she ain’t never heard of me
The memories like some stoned old soldier stumble through my mind
Made me wonder if where I was bound was worth all I left behind

Chorus:
I could almost hear the sound of one hand clapping
I could almost see the shadow of the wind
Oh memories make a lonely boy go crazy
And it looks like here I go again

Silence is the sound of one hand clapping
Illusions are shadows of the wind
Memories are just a lonely boy gone crazy
And it looks like here I go again

Hey, it looks like I’m heading that way again
