Two ravens talkin' back and forth on a telephone wire
Maybe I am not where I belong
We crossed the oregon border and they kicked me off
And that train it is a long ways gone
And I got miles and miles and miles to go
I got miles and miles and miles to go

Pulled outta san francisco on a foggy afternoon
When I heard that you were back in town
Don't ask me how I knew it 'cause it never takes too long
For your devil ways to get around

So I hopped a big ol' train 'cause I knew I'd feel the pain
And the heartache and the emptiness inside
And I headed up the coast like some lost and lonesome ghost
Just achin' for a little peace o' mind

And I got miles and miles and miles to go
I got miles and miles and miles to go
And every town I passed looked exactly like the last
Right down to the spots on the milk cow's hides
And every old time farmer he'd just stare at me and laugh
That's how it goes when you got nothin' left to hide

I've seen the redwood trees and I swam in the ragin' sea
And I squandered what I could with this guitar
'Cause when you learn enough to know that you got no place left to go
You turn north just to see who you really are

And I got miles and miles and miles to go
I got miles and miles and miles to go
Two ravens talkin' back and forth on a telephone wire
Maybe I am not where I belong
