I got me a map of Dallas, and I’m sitting in Kalispell
About a thousand miles from Texas but I guess it’s just as well
I got my past in my dust got my future over the hill
And I don’t need nobody to cast my spells
I got dreams and things and songs for times of war
I got a life that lays itself, you know it don’t get bored
I got my local crowd waiting for me down at the local bar
And I’m going to sing to them till my throat gets sore
Cause it only happens once, life will not wait, and it won’t throw it back to you
There ain’t enough time to do something right, but plenty of time to do something new
Come on please give me your blessing
And sing my songs when I’m gone
Take me down to the river wash my little soul clean
From the dust of your highways to the smut of your dreams
You can take my guitar and my harmonicas, throw them all into the sea
I swear the tide will bring them all back to me
And if I don’t make it home don’t’ cry none
Don’t let lit keep you in
We all come back, baby , slow or fast
Back to where we began
Come on please give me your blessing
And sing my songs when I’m gone
I got me a map of Dallas
And I’m sitting in Kalispell
Bout a thousand miles from Texas but I guess it’s just as well
I got Springsteen on my radio cranking it loud as hell
I just love this song I don’t care what my neighbors yell
Cause it picks me up my life gets stuck my wheels don’t seem to roll
Baby take my advice, hold on tight, never let go
Come on please give me your blessing
And sing my songs when I’m gone
