Well my in The Highlands, gentle and fair blooming in the wildwood air Bluebells where the Aberdeen waters flow Well my heart's in The I'm gonna go there I feel good enough to go
Windows shaking all night in my dreams Everything was exactly the way that it Woke up this mornin' and I looked at the old page Same old rat race, life in the old cage I don't want nothin' anyone, ain't that much to take Wouldn't know the difference a real blonde and a fake Feel a prisoner in a world of mystery I wish come and push back the clock for me
Well my heart's in The wherever I roam That's where be when I get called home The wind it whispers to the trees of rhyme Well, my heart's in The I can only get one step at a time I'm listening to Neil Young, I turn up the sound Someone's yellin' "Turn it down" Feel like I'm driftin', driftin' scene to scene I'm wonderin' what in the devil could it all mean
is smashin' up against my soul You could say I was on but a roll If I had a conscience, well I just might my top What would I do with it anyway, take it to the pawn shop? My in The Highlands at the break of dawn By the beautiful lake of the Swan Big white clouds like chariots that swing low Well my in The Highlands, only place left to go
I'm in Boston town in restaurant I got no what I want Or maybe I do but I'm just not sure Waitress comes over, nobody in the but me and her Well it be a holiday, there's nobody around She studies me closely as I sit She got a face and long white shiny legs
I "Tell me what I want" She say "You probably want boiled eggs" I "That's right, bring me some" She says "We ain't got any, you the wrong time to come" Then she says "I you're an artist, draw a picture of me" I said "I would if I but I don't do from memory" Well she's there, she says "I'm right here in of you Or you looked?"
I say "All right, I know but I don't have my book" She me a napkin, she say "You can do it on that" I say "Yes I but I don't know where my pencil is at" She pulls one out behind her ear She says "Alright now go ahead draw me I'm stayin' here" I make a few lines and I it for her to see Well she takes the napkin and it back and says "That look a thing like me"
I said "Oh kind miss, it most does" She say "You must be joking", I said "I I was" She "You don't read women authors do ya?" At least that's I think I hear her say I say "How would you know, and what would it matter anyway?" Well she says "Ya just don't like ya do" I "You're way wrong" She says "Which have you read then?", I say "Read Erica Jong" She goes away for a minute, and I slide out, out of my I step back to the busy street, but nobody's goin' anywhere
my heart's in The Highlands with the horses and hounds Way up in the border far from the towns With the twang of the arrow and the of the bow My heart's in The Highlands, see any other way to go Every day is the thing, out the door further away than ever before Some things in it just gets too late to learn Well I'm somewhere, I must have made a few bad turns
I see people in the park, forgettin' their and woes They're drinkin' and dancin', wearin' bright clothes All the young men the young women lookin' so good Well, I'd trade places any of 'em, in a minute if I could I'm crossin' the to get away from a mangy dog to myself in a monologue I think what I need might be a full-length leather Somebody just asked me if I'm registered to
The sun is beginnin' to on me But it's not the sun that used to be The party's and there's less and less to say I got new eyes, everything looks far my heart's in The Highlands at the break of day Over the and far away There's a way to get there, and figure it out somehow I'm already there in my mind and that's good enough for now
