D Bm
Travis McGee's still in Cedar Key
G Em A7
That's what old John MacDonald said
D Bm
My rendezvous's so long overdue
G Em A7
with all of the things I've sung and I've read
F#m Bm F#m G
They still apply to me, they all make sense in time
D G D
Now I'm incommunicado
Bm Bm/A G D/F# Em A7
Drivin' by myself down the road with a hole in it
D G D
Songs with no vibrato
Bm A A7 D Dsus D
Takin' the long way home
Now on the day that John Wayne died
I found myself on the continental divide
Tell me where do I go from here?
Think I'll ride in Leadville and have a few beers
I think of "Red River" or "Liberty Valance"
Can't believe the old man's gone
But now he's incommunicado
Leavin' such a hole in a world that believed
That a life with such bravado
Was takin' the right way home
So when I finished that last line
I put the book by itself on the shelf with my heart in it
Never wastin' time; takin' the right way home
I know I'm never wastin' time, findin' the right way home
Chorus:
Still I am incommunicado
Livin' next door to a leg with a pin in it
Life with such bravado
Takin' the right way home
D
Tryin' to make it
Bm
Tryin' to fake it
G Em A
Tryin' to take it home (repeat 4 times)
D G D Bm A D Dsus D
But now I'm incommunicado...
