A Hundred And Twenty Miles From Nowhere (From Burl Ives' Nashville Years 5-CD set.)

I'm a hundred and twenty miles from nowhere,
A hundred and twenty miles from nowhere
I ain't got a worry and I ain't got a care
I'm a hundred and twenty miles from nowhere

My ornery woman, she just nag me to death
She didn't give me time to even catch my breath
So I pulled up stakes and wandered way out here
A hundred and twenty miles from nowhere

It sure is great to live way out here
The logs are full of rabbits and the woods full of deer
The cool spring water tastes a lot like beer
A hundred and twenty miles from nowhere

I'm a hundred and twenty miles from nowhere,
A hundred and twenty miles from nowhere
I ain't got a worry and I ain't got a care
I'm a hundred and twenty miles from nowhere

I left the split-level home and the patio
The bank's got the Cadillac and Dyna-flow
They'll reposses it all, 'cause I ain't there
I'm a hundred and twenty miles from nowhere

So if your creditors are breathing down your neck
And keeping up with the Joneses is making you a wreck
Just pull up stakes and wander way out here
A hundred and twenty miles from nowhere

I'm a hundred and twenty miles from nowhere,
A hundred and twenty miles from nowhere
I ain't got a worry and I ain't got a care
I'm a hundred and twenty miles from nowhere
