Buffalo River Home John Hiatt
Intro:
[E] [A] [E] [A] [E]
[E]I've been t[B]aking off and landing, but this airport'[E]s closed
And how much t[A]hicker this fog is gonna g[E]et, God only k[B]nows
[A]Just when you think that you've got a grip,
Rea[E]lity sneaks off and gives y[/F#]ou t[/G#]he s[A]lip-
[E]As if you e[B/D#]ver knew w[C#m]hat it w[B]as,
T[A]akin' you d[G#m]own the l[F#m]ine.
CHORUS:
Te[B]aring through the co[E]tton fields and bus shelters
Of the So[A]uth running helter skelter
Down through the Mi[E]ssiss[B/D#]ippi De[C#m]lta
Wi[B]th no pl[A]ace to call your ow[B]n.
Mixing up dr[E]inks with mixed feelings,
Al[A]l along the paint was peeling
Down to an In[E]dian bl[B/D#]anket on a po[C#m]ny,
Wi[B]th no ri[A]der in the fl[G#m]esh and bo[F#m]ne
Lookin' for his bu[A]ffalo river ho[E]me.
I've been circling the wagons down at Times Square
Trying to fill up this hole in my soul,
But nothing fits there
Just when you think that you can let it rip
You're pounding the pavement in your daddy's wingtips
As if you had someplace else to go,
Or a better way to get there.
CHORUS:
Now there's only two things in life,
But I forget what they are-
It seems we're either hangin' on a moonbeam's coattails,
Or wishing on stars.
Just when you think that you've been gyped,
Yhe bearded lady comes and does a double back flip
And you run off and join the circus,
Yeah you just let that pony ride.
CHORUS:
Lookin' for his buffalo river home.
