[Verse 1]
All of my memories lay in the life of the highway
All of my nights in old motels, sleeping alone
All of my days on the road with no one beside me
All of my dreams of a place I can call home

[Verse 2]
Somewhere in the shade near the sound of the sweet singin' river
Somewhere in the sun, where the mountains make love to the sky
Somewhere to build me a faith, a farm, and a family
Somewhere to grow older, and somewhere a reason to try

[Verse 3]
'Cause I'm tired of big cities and so tired of big city ways
Scratchin' off sunset, walkin' around in a maze
Some sweet taxi dancer tryin' to save me from bein' alone
Oh, it's much worse than lonely, there's no place I really belong
I want to be home

[Verse 4]
I'm leavin' this city life, in my mind I'm flyin' away
I'm leavin' tomorrow and all of my old yesterdays
I'm leavin' the trash cans, the bright lights, and telephone lines
I'm leavin' my sorrows and all of my memories behind
To see what I find
[Verse 5]
Somewhere in the shade near the sound of the sweet singin' river
Somewhere in the sun, where the mountains make love to the sky
Somewhere to build me a faith, a farm, a family
Somewhere to grow older, and somewhere a reason to try
Somewhere to grow older, somewhere to lay down and die
