Travis McGee's still in Cedar Key

That's what John McDonald said

My rendezvous so long overdue

With all of the things I've sung and read

They still apply to me, they all make sense in time



But now I'm incommunicado

Driving by myself down the road with a hole in it

Songs with no bravado

Takin' the long way home



Now on the day that John Wayne died

I found myself on the continental divide

Tell me where do we go from here?

Think I'll ride into Leadville and have a few beers

Think of "Red River", "Liberty Valence" can't believe

the old man's gone



But now he's incommunicado

Leaving such a hole in a world that believed

That a life with such bravado

Was taking the right way home



So when I finished the last line

I put the book by itself on the shelf

With my heart in it

Never wasting time takin' the right way home

I know you're never wastin' time

Findin' the right way home



Still I am incommunicado

Livin' next door to a leg with a pin in it

Never wastin' time, takin' the right way home



[Repeat]
