A.  STATESIDE

I am still far away from my hometown.
But I'm closer than I was a little earlier.
As always, I'm sniffing around for a hoedown.
She's a big ol' country, and I'm a little worldier.

Stateside, of the sweet black Atlantic
Stateside, of the border patrol
Stateside, back in the 48s 
					the contigually connected states
Waysides as I roll as I roll.

It's a big big country in big big world
It's a world spinning around in space
Nine hours in an airplane seat in a 787
Inflight movies with Rosamund Pike and Noomi Rapace

Stateside, the landside after the seaside
Stateside, the downside after the upside
Stateside, the upside after the downside
It's a greatside as I ride as I ride

Stateside, back on the inside of my homeland
Stateside, back in the highlife/wheelhouse again
Stateside, back in the 48s
					the contigually connected states
Waysides and the rides never end
