Cowboy Junkies - Leaving Normal Lyrics
Its been a long time since Ive seen the high planes of expectationAnd Im way past the lowlands and the deserts of failure and doubtAnd the last time I passed through satisfactionI felt like a stranger thereNow Im leaving normal and Im heading for who knows whereexcuse me mister, is that seat taken,Can I put my bag over hereYou know this trip will go a whole lot smootherIf you take your hand from thereNo, Im not from around hereAnd my names not little darlingWhy is there one in every crowdAnd why do I atttract them?Funny how the smell of a greyhound busNow smells like a fresh start to meAnd now the sounds of the steelbelts on the blacktopIs now the sounds of breaking freeBut Id trade all those cancelled ticketsFor a single return fair to a stationWith a loved one waiting thereIve finally learned that theres good and badAnd that a girl can do some choosingOf that Im glad cause this hardened faceWont take any more bruisingYeah, and the next time I fall into anothers armsTheres one thing of which Ill be certainYeah, you can bare the weight of another, babyWithout considering it a burdenIts been a long time since Ive seen the high planes of expectationAnd Im way past the lowlands and the deserts of failure and doubtAnd the last time I passed through satisfactionI felt like a stranger thereNow Im leaving normal and Im heading for who knows whereNow Im leaving normal wherever Im headingI dont care
