Travis McGee's still in Cedar Key That's what ol' John MacDonald said My rendezvous so long overdue With all of the things I've sung and I've read They still apply to me They all make sense in time But now I'm incommunicado Drivin' by myself down the road with a hole in it Songs with no vibrato 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 into 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 Still I am incommunicado Livin' next door to a leg with a pin in it Life with such bravado Is takin' the right way home Tryin' to make it Tryin' to fake it Tryin' to take it home Tryin' to make it Tryin' to fake it Tryin' to take it home I know I'm... Tryin' to make it Sometimes I fake it Tryin' to take it home All I'm doing is... Tryin' to make it Tryin' to fake it Tryin' to take it home But now I'm incommunicado...
