I'm Not From Here Songtext
von Indecision

I′m not from here, I just live here
Grew up somewhere far away
Came here thinking that I'd never stay long
I′d be going back soon someday

It's been a few years since I got here
I've seen ′em come and I′ve seen 'em go
Crowds assemble, they hang out a while
Then they melt away like an early snow

On to some bright future somewhere
Down the road to points unknown
Sending postcards when they get there
Wherever it is they think they′re going

I'm not from here, I just live here
Can′t see that it matters much
I read the paper and I watch the nightly news
Who's to say that I′m out of touch?


Nobody's from here, most of us just live here
Locals long since moved away
Sold their played-out farms for parking lots
Went off looking for a better way

On to some bright future somewhere
Better times on down the road
Wonder if they ever got there
Wherever it is they thought they'd go

I′m not from here, but people tell me
It′s not like it used to be
They say I should have been here back about ten years
Before it got ruined by folks like me

We can't help it, we just keep moving
Been that way since long ago
Since the Stone Age, chasing the great herds
We mostly go where we have to go

On to some bright future somewhere
Down the road to points unknown
Sending postcards when we get there
Wherever it is we think we′re going

I'm not from here, I just live here
I′m not from here, I just live here
I'm not from here, I just live here
