CROSS COUNTRY ASTRONAUT
written by john common

one hundred thousand miles in my car.
cross country astronaut, I flew so far.
I'm standing in a phone booth hoping you aint flown away.
pick up the phone and lead me home today.

no one changes. no one can.
nothing's simple. not even one man.
I thought I would see the world but all I saw was space.
i found the well inside myself too late.

I woke up walking into the wind.
i starting talking to myself like my own best friend.
all alone and wasted in the parking lot.
let me back in I'll confess the sin I got.
