Faraway Places Lyrics

Willie Nelson

Those far away places with strange sound and names far away over sea
Far away places with the strange sound and names are calling calling me
I go into China or maybe Siam I wanna see for myself
Those far away places I've been readin' bout in a book that I took from a shelf
I keep wishin' I was somewhere else way on a train
I pray for the day I can get under way and search for those castles in Spain
They call me a dreamer well maybe I am but I'm never longin' to see
The strange far away places with the strange sound and names calling calling me
Calling calling me
