Song title: Cowboy Junkies - Leaving Normal

Edit By: 216.73.216.218

Its been a long time since Ive seen the high planes of expectation
And Im way past the lowlands and the deserts of failure and doubt
And the last time I passed through satisfaction
I felt like a stranger there
Now Im leaving normal and Im heading for who knows where

excuse me mister, is that seat taken,
Can I put my bag over here
You know this trip will go a whole lot smoother
If you take your hand from there
No, Im not from around here
And my names not little darling
Why is there one in every crowd
And why do I atttract them?

Funny how the smell of a greyhound bus
Now smells like a fresh start to me
And now the sounds of the steelbelts on the blacktop
Is now the sounds of breaking free

But Id trade all those cancelled tickets
For a single return fair to a station
With a loved one waiting there

Ive finally learned that theres good and bad
And that a girl can do some choosing
Of that Im glad cause this hardened face
Wont take any more bruising

Yeah, and the next time I fall into anothers arms
Theres one thing of which Ill be certain
Yeah, you can bare the weight of another, baby
Without considering it a burden

Its been a long time since Ive seen the high planes of expectation
And Im way past the lowlands and the deserts of failure and doubt
And the last time I passed through satisfaction
I felt like a stranger there
Now Im leaving normal and Im heading for who knows where

Now Im leaving normal wherever Im heading
I dont care
