Picture From a Plane

I'm just a poor boy and I miss my girl
I'm just a poor boy and I miss my girl
She's everything in this world
For me

Sent me a picture taken from a plane
She sent me a picture taken from a plane
Now the clouds will never look the same
Again

I've never been further than the edge of this town
I've never been lost and I've never been found
But if you put on that Blaze [Foley] record, I disappear
To another country and to another year –
With her

From 40,000 feet I'd watch the morning unfurl
From 40,000 feet I'd watch the morning unfurl
I'd circumnavigate this world
For her

But I wake up in the morning and it's all the same
I get up in the morning and it's all the same
Except I don't know the man who bears my name
Anymore

I ain't slept for days, just chased my shadow around
I've never seen the waves, but I'd like to hear the sound
I'm gonna sit right on that Greyhound
Let it take me away, and take me down –
That road

Now people look at me like I have fallen from space
Strolling down the street with snow falling on my face
Me and my January face, with grace

But when I close my eyes I'm in another land
If I close my eyes I'm in another land
With palm trees, the ocean, and some sand
And her

But, I've never been further than the edge of this town
I've never been lost and I've never been found
But if I put on that Townes record, I disappear
To another country and to another year –
With her
