Words and Music By John Denver
G C G
lay in the life of the highway
C G
All of my nights in old motels and sleeping alone
C G
All of my days on the road with no one beside me
G C G
All of my dreams of a place that I can call home
G C G
Somewhere in the shade near the sound of a sweet singin' river
C G
Somewhere in the sun where the mountains make love to the sky
C G
Somewhere to build me a faith, a farm and a family
G C G
Somewhere to grow older, and somewhere a reason to try
D C G
'Cause I'm tired of big cities and so tired of big city ways
Bm C G
Scratchin' off sunsets, and walkin' around in the maze
D C G
Some sweet taxi dancer's tryin' to save me from bein' alone
Bm C G
Ah, it's much worse than lonely, there is no place that I really belong
D D7
I want to be home
G C G
I'm leavin' this city life In my mind I'm flyin' away
Bm C G
I'm leavin' tomorrow and all of the old yesterdays
D C G
I'm leavin' the trash cans, the bright lights, the telephone lines
Bm C G
I'm leavin' my sorrows and behind
D D7
To see what I find
G C G
Somewhere in the shade near the sound of a sweet singin' river
C G
Somewhere in the sun where the mountains make love to the sky
C G
Somewhere to build me a faith, a farm, and a family
G C G
Somewhere to grow older, and somewhere a reason to try
G C G
Somewhere to grow older, somewhere to lay down and die
