"Incommunicado" lyrics
"Incommunicado"
Travis McGee's still in Cedar Key
That's what ol' John MacDonald said
My rendezvous' so long overdue
With all of the things I've sung and I've read
They still apply to me
They all make sense in time
But now I'm incommunicado
Drivin' by myself down the road with a hole in it
Songs with no vibrato
Takin' the long way home
Now on the day that John Wayne died
I found myself on the continental divide
Tell me where do I go from here?
Think I'll ride into Leadville and have a few beers
I think of "Red River" or "Liberty Valance"
Can't believe the old man's gone
But now he's incommunicado
Leavin' such a hole in a world that believed
That a life with such bravado
Was takin' the right way home
So when I finished that last line
I put the book by itself on the shelf with my heart in it
Never wastin' time takin' the right way home
I know I'm never wastin' time findin' the right way home
Still I am incommunicado
Livin' next door to a leg with a pin in it
Life with such bravado
Is takin' the right way home
Tryin' to make it, tryin' to fake it
Tryin' to take it home
Tryin' to make it, tryin' to fake it
Tryin' to take it home
I know I'm tryin' to make it, sometimes I fake it
Tryin' to take it home
All I'm doing is tryin' to make it, tryin' to fake it
Tryin' to take it home
But now I'm incommunicado

Joe Walsh - "Over And Over" Over and over just as plain as can be
Taken for granted, out in the open, easy to see
Taking my chances, I'm counting my shoes
I'm playing a game, making it easy, counting in twos
By the time you...
Dan Fogelberg - "Go Down Easy" Linda lost a lover
In the early part of autumn
And she moved out to the country
Hoping all would be forgotten
The last time that I saw her
She was makin' sure the winter
Wouldn't come through that...
The Marshall Tucker Band - "Fly Like An Eagle" I'm gonna take me a ride on a riverboat
Down to New Orleans
Gotta pocket full o'money and a liquor bottle
Gonna drink away my dreams
Don't really wanna leave
Sure I can't stay
I'm gonna get on that...
John Hiatt - "Child Of The Wild Blue Yonder" She has the wind as a witness
She has feelings that fly by night
She believes in forgiveness
But it's not love if it holds too tight
And you can fly beside her
But you gotta go where your heart says...
