Northwest of Nowhere, Maine
Ten years from anything
That's ever really meant a damn to me
Cornfields in drifts of snow
This land is filled with bones
Sacred ground whose stories are never told
Will my story be buried with those bones?
Around these parts, I'm a stranger here
Can't understand the French I hear
Through the static on the radio
The sun sinks behind the trees
Taking with it my last dream
Maybe now I'll finally get some sleep
Lord, I could really use some sleep
It's been a long time
Since I've been without love to keep me warm
It's been a long time
Under all this open sky I see
Somewhere is me
Dear Katy, I'm settling in
Winter's here and I'm probably drinking
More than one man should when he's alone
Come spring I'll be hard to find
I'm moving across the Canadian side
And I'm never coming home
Around these parts, I call home
It's been a long time
Since I've been without love to keep me warm
It's been a long time
Under all this open sky I see
Somewhere is me
