Got your letter the other day I just read it now Cause I've been away On the far side Of nowhere at all I see you've gone and you've settled down And you've built a wall All around you somehow On the near side Of nowhere at all And I'm still wearing those same old shoes I'm just singing those lonesome blues And you know I've got troubles on my mind But I guess I'm doing all right I could tell you how it is To have drifted out of you But I'm no less a man Than you I hope you know that I won't be back I'm just moving on and my bags are packed For the far side Of nowhere at all I'm still wearing those same old shoes And I'm bringing some bottles of booze And I know that we've both got troubles in mind But I guess we're doing alright I could tell you how it is To have drifted out of you But I'm no less a man Than you
