Lyrics

Box Elder (Live 1992)

Wasn't the question you were asking Wasn't the answer I gave Made me feel like I was on train Was a distant voice Made me make the choice That I had to get out of this town 'Cause I got a lot of things to do A lot of places to go Well I got a lot of good things coming my way And I'm afraid to say that you're not one of them Last time I was there You were out on the couch Pressed into a little electric tube It was the way that you smiled That made me know at once That I had to get out of this town 'Cause I've decided to make a stand I'm not gonna take your hand I'm taking the next bus outta here I'm gonna head to box elder, on my own Box Elder, I'll go Box Elder, I'll go Box Elder, I'll go
