Where Was I Now     (Music - Robb McCormick, Lyrics - Ed McGee)

I’m gonna cut my hair
I’m gonna change my name
I’m gonna sell my car
I’m gonna quit this game
And move to a new town
Where they’ll never track me down
And my voice will be a new sound
Hey, let me get this round 

Where was I now?
Don’t let me lose my focus here
Lean in close, hear me well
Next full moon, I’m outta here
It’s not because of debts I owe
It’s not because of bridges burned
It’s not that I’m a wanted man
Just an old lesson learned 

I will move to a new town 
I’ll make 50 new friends
I’ll apply for some new job
Then maybe just quit in the end
And you think that I’m a fool
Or insane that I claim this
So I ask you then, friend
What is it you think my name is? 

I’m a carpenter from Wichita
I’m a math teacher from Queens
I’m an analyst from Denver
I’m from a family of means
I’m on my way to Louisville
I’m on my way to the coast
I’m on my way to Providence
Hey, this calls for a toast 

Where was I now?
Don’t let me lose my focus here
Another town, another name, another job,
It’s hard to keep it clear
And I used to have a secret
But I lost it on the road
Now I’m searching my identities
Trying to crack the code 

I will move to a new town
I’ll make 50 new friends
I’ll build a small wooden house
Where some clear river bends
And this time I’ll settle
This time I’ll know how
Hey, let me get this last round
Where was I now?
