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
