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
Chorus
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
Chorus
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)
