lyrics

I rolled in to Boone County 
one June evening all alone
and I was hearin’ Dylan singin’ 
a thousand miles from his home
and downtown CoMo was a fine place
just like you had often said
and in the blue room you gave this traveler
a place to rest his weary head

there’s more joy that we have laughed for
than a thousand jokes and tales
and there’s more hope that you have given
than I needed to fill these sails
and there is more that you have bought me
than a meal at any restaurant
and there is more that you have taught me
than I can measure in a song

so fare thee well, o Columbia,
and fair Missouri, adios
got bluebonnets for my heartstrings
but I got them prairies in my soul
and I may live a life of leavin'
and never learn to say goodbye
but every time I shall remember
that it ain’t no shame to cry
