[Verse 1:]

Most of my days I spend life on the road
I took the backroads highways to meet the simple folks
Nights went together in the haze of drink and smoke
So I left with the rising sun, all along
Go
Go

[Chorus:]

Shake away, shake away the old chains in my life
Got a new, got a new love in open eyes
Break away, break away the old ways and live high
Got a new course for the light

[Verse 2:]

Made it out west through the deserts and the snow
How you found me, I reckon some day I will know
You picked me up from the depth I've never known
And you showed me a life of love, trust and hope
Go
Go

[Chorus:]
Shake away, shake away the old chains in my life
Got a new, got a new love in open eyes
Break away, break away the old ways and live high
Got a new course for the light

Shake away, shake away the old chains in my life
Got a new, got a new love in open eyes
Break away, break away the old ways and live high
Got a new course for the light
Got a new course for the light
