I’m Still Here

I lived my whole life right here where we are
this is my town
I almost moved away some years ago
I was shufflin’ around

I moved to the city, put some new roots down
I said good-bye to this town
I came back for a visit and I never got away
I thought I left but I stayed...
And I’m still here.

Right here I’ve got a pretty good thing
I live a lucky life
I’ve got steady work, I love my kids
I do O.K. with my wife

But I know for a fact if I found myself
in some brand new far-away land
I would rise above all this little town stuff
I could become a whole new man...
And I’m still here.

Raise your glasses, here’s another toast
to the best people I know
take your time, what’s your hurry
we’ve got no place to go.

Late at night when the new moon comes
I ride in my car
head up North on the interstate highway
I’m lookin’ for the stars

And I dream and drift through the Milky Way
I travel alone in time and space
I lose myself where I can’t be found
and when the morning sun comes ‘round...
I’m still here.
I’m still here.
