Not from Nothing


From this hill village on the Mississippi
I watch Louisiana always over there just
Across the muddy river where shoreline
Cottonwoods give way to cotton fields
And that’s how I think of you—as a place
I can see from over here in Nixburg over here
In Nothingtown where I can’t touch you
And sometimes I remember how you say
Hey babe long time no whatever it is we do
You say we never we never knew you say
Listen dude you should know you can't
Travel through the time you travel in when
You time travel—and it’s not from nothing
If it’s all the same O all the same to you
