lyrics

A Cadillac could you take back
Or you can catch a greyhound running
There'll be a travel plan to suit ya
From the clickety clack of a railroad track
To an 18 wheeler hummin'
They'll find a way to move ya

On that long journey home
And i'm turning up my radio
For one more driftin' song
On that long journey home

You might start your own religion
A philosophical confection
Or grow peyote in your shed
But there's just one true direction
Don't you miss that last connection
On that road that lies ahead

On that long journey home
If it's concrete, mud or gravel
There's just one way to travel
On that long journey home

It was somewhere in Dakota
I can't tell North from South
When she almost passed me by
But she won my heart
when she stopped her car
And told me 'hop on in'
I knew she'd take me for a ride
She said 'my name is Johnny'
I said 'my name is Sue'
And from that moment
we were laughin'
And we made our own disorder
to that Great Canadian Border
On that long journey home

On that long journey home
And i guess i fell in love with you
A thousand times or more
On that long journey home

And I hope you think enough of me
To miss me when I'm gone
On that long journey home

‘There are miles in Palmer’s voice; you can almost see the scenery that his mind has captured through the decades of his life. Palmer’s songwriting and guitar playing are tasteful and bittersweet, his music is crafted with feeling and poetic flair. I’m reminded of another acoustic icon, Gordon Lightfoot.”- TwangTown Magazine ... more
