Written by John Denver
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
