Neal Johnston - The Same (But Different) Lyrics

I lost my heart in the valleys of Old Mexico
Ventura nights searching for life
She was too Hollywood for old San Antone

I lost my mind under Oklahoma sun soaked skies
The ghost of a past, caught in the act
Never even said goodbye

Hear me now as I'm screaming at the top my lungs
A castle turned to prison, just chains still missing
A savior on the run

Won't you take me home
I'll leave you in the morning but tonight I'll play along
You won't even know my name
In this prison of my own
A stranger just the same

I lost my way on the road to wrong and right
Shouting from the hills, hungry for a kill
Bloodstains, sweat in their eyes

Out here I stand on the corner of a rock and a place
Send them on back, fade to black
Goddamn, I like the taste

Won't you take me home
I'll leave you in the morning but tonight I'll play along
You won't even know my name
In this prison of my own
A stranger just the same

Won't you save me now
I'm crossing over Jordan chasing Tennessee dogwood flowers
Streets they look the same
This prison of my own, you won't even know my name
This prison of my own, you won't even know my name
This prison of my own, a stranger just the same
