Are you from here?

[asdjrocky]

I'm from here again. I used to be from somewhere else, but now I'm back. I'm not sure which is better. Are you from here, or are you from somewhere else?

1. My dear asdjrocky!

I'm from someplace else......I think!

It's all good, isn't it? :silly: :crazy:

[asdjrocky]

6. Aw, hi Peggy!

Sometimes I go some plase else but I always end up here.

[SKKY]

2. I'm from where I'm at, but not where I where I will be.

That's some place else entirely.

[asdjrocky]

7. I was there, and then I went back.

[Danger Mouse]

3. Wherever I'm from, that's where I am.

:shrug:

[petronius]

4. I was from there, but now there's no there there.

So I guess I'm from here as much as anywhere...

[Tom Kitten]

5. Not only here, but there...

Everywhere...

[MineralMan]

8. I was from there, but I moved away. I'm here, how.

I don't know whether I like there better than here, but wherever you go, there you are.

9. Nobody's from here.

I'm not from here
I just live here
Grew up somewhere far away
Come here thinking I'd never stay long
That I'd be going back soon someday

It's been a few years
Since I got here
Seen 'em come and I've seen 'em go
Crowds assemble, they hang out awhile
Then they melt away like an early snow

On to some bright future somewhere
Down the road to points unknown
Sending postcards when they get there
Wherever it is they think they're goin'

I'm not from here
I just live here
Can't see that it matters much
I read the papers and I watch the nightly news
Who's to say I'm out of touch?

Nobody's from here
Most of us just live here
Locals long since moved away
Sold their played-out farms for parking lots
Went off looking for a better way

On to some bright future somewhere
Better times on down the road
Wonder if they ever got there
Wherever it was they thought they'd go

Hit my home town
Couple of years back
Hard to say just how it felt
Looked like so many towns I might've been through
On my way to somewhere else

I'm not from here
But people tell me
It's not like it used to be
They say I should have been here
Back about ten year
Before it got ruined by folks like me

We can't help it
We just keep moving
Been that way since long ago
Since the Stone Age, chasing the great herds
We mostly go where we have to go

On to some bright future somewhere
Down the road to points unknown
Sending post cards when we get there
Wherever it is we think we'll go

Someday I'll be from somewhere else, but that seems a long way off.

[kentauros]

But you have to go to This Way St to get that way.

13. Ever since I was five years old,

I knew I was from someplace else.

14. Hey, you are not supposed to beat me when it comes to extremely cryptic fun posts.

:P

[ogneopasno]

15. I'm from somewhere else, and no matter how long I'm here, I'll always be from somewhere else. That's

just how it is, here.
