"Pictures On A Wall" lyrics

"Pictures On A Wall"

I've climbed the mountains in Montana
Danced in the lights of New Orleans
The boy that ran away with me in San Fransisco stayed with me Nashville made its way in between

Fell in love in Minnesota
And fell apart south of Salt Lake
Colorado calls to me
And Washington'll always be begging for a piece of me to stay
Maybe some things never change

But I wanna know how it feels to hang pictures on a wall
Sleep in the same bed at night
I want reasons to stay
I want someone to take up my time and miss me when I go

I've swam the beaches on the west coast
And climbed the trees of Carolina
I have felt the city streets of Boston underneath my feet
Heard the sound of subways down the line

Walked the lakesides of Wisconsin
And bathed in springs of Idaho
I could use a day or two, or even just an afternoon, gettin' myself lost in Chicago
Maybe I'm homesick for it all

'Cause I wanna know how it feels to hang pictures on a wall
Sleep in the same bed at night
I want reasons to stay
I want someone to take up my time and miss me when I go
I want a home

'Cause I have traveled across this country wide
And I feel there must be somethin' more to find

I miss those mountains in Montana
I have wandered long enough to know how good a good thing was
I feel it more the further that I get
So the wheels are pointed west

'Til I know how it feels to hang pictures on a wall
Sleep in the same bed at night
I want reasons to stay
I want someone to take up my time and miss me when I go

I'll find reasons to stay, and someone to take up my time
And I'm not gonna go
When I get home
I'm goin' home
