A song for anyone who’s had to move on whether they wanted to or not.
A NEW PLACE
I don’t call your name no more
When I walk the floor
All night long
Like some sad old song
Don’t come around lookin’ for me
I’m goin’ back to Tennessee
So long
I’m gone
Don’t worry ‘bout me I’m’a be alright
Cuz you know how I am
I got a plan
Yeah I’m in a new place
New town with slower pace
More than a little bit of grace
And a real nice view
Yeah I’m in a new place
Where I don’t have to see your face
Or have it drive me cra…zy
Again
The moon is rising through the hickory trees
And I got this guitar
Evening star
I sold back your ring
Might o’ burned some o’ your other things
Out back in the fire ring
That you loved so much
Makin’ smores in the twilight
Hot sticky on a July night
Used to think it’d be alright
But boy was I wrong
Don’t worry ‘bout me I got lots of friends
And you know how they are
Near and far
Cause I’m in a new place
New town with slower pace
More than a little bit of grace
And a real nice view
Yeah I’m in a new place
Where I don’t have to see your face
Or have it drive me cra…zy
Again
Nothing’s for certain but the rush of time
And I hear you’re OK
Far away
Cuz I’m in a new place, I’m in a new place
Yeah I got me a new place, I’m in a new place
