100 Miles From Nowhere

[Intro]
(One, two, three)

[Verse 1]
They forced my hand and made it harder to survive
The foremen called it progress, society realized
It hit me like a roller coaster, it made my stomach lift
I barely had enough to keep the home where I had left
Then the agency came a-knocking on my door
Said to pack your things, you don't live here anymore
I remember it was cold, the wind was howling through the trees
I was just about a hundred miles from nowhere in the street
And I

[Verse 2]
Shouted down the road, I almost cried
Gone with the sign
Headed west and hoped there would be some people there
As the cold blew less, I let go of my despair
I've come about a hundred miles from nowhere to here
I've just about a hundred miles to go till I was clear
And I

[Verse 3]
Start to feeling it could all work out all right
And for tonight
Let myself dream of making it right
Dream like a kite
Free while the wind was blowing
Just about a hundred miles from nowhere
