WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE
(Paul Williams)


Paul Williams - 1972
Elvis Presley - 1972



If I knew the way I'd go back home
But the countryside has changed so much
I'd surely end up lost
Half-remembered names and faces so far in the past
On the other side of bridges 
That were burned once they were crossed

Tell me where, where does a fool go 
When there's no-one left to listen
To a story without meaning 
That nobody wants to hear
Tell me where, where does a fool go 
When he knows there's somethin' missin'
Tell me where, where do I go from here
Where do I go from here

To get back home
Where my childhood dreams and wishes 
Still outnumber my regrets
Go back to a place where I can figure on the odds
Have a fightin' chance to lose the blues 
And win my share of bets

Tell me where, where does a fool go 
When there's no-one left to listen
To a story without meaning 
That nobody wants to hear
Tell me where, where does a fool go 
When he knows there's somethin' missin'
Tell me where, where do I go from here
Where do I go from here

Tell me where, where does a fool go 
When there's no-one left to listen
To a story without meaning 
That nobody wants to hear
Tell me where, where does a fool go 
When he knows there's somethin' missin'
Tell me where, where do I go from here
Where do I go from here

Tell me where, where does a fool go 
When there's no-one left to listen
To a story without meaning 
That nobody wants to hear
Tell me where, where does a fool go 
When he knows there's somethin' missin'
Tell me where, where do I go from here
Where do I go from here
