{Verse}
Well the white water wanders through them Hoosier hills
The water rolls right on
And the moon rises over a furrowed field
A sycamore stands in the sun

{Chorus]
But they can’t take me where
I would rather be
Where my heart leads me to
They can’t take me where I would rather be with You

[Verse]
Well the greyhound may bus me over prairiе miles
Endless distances keep running
And up abovе me the clouds seem to sail on by
I can’t keep myself from wondering

[Chorus]
If they could take me where I would rather be
Where my heart leads me to
They can’t take me where I would rather be with You

[Bridge]
Well I’ve spent most of my life running away from the things I’ve needed
And I spent most of my time being
Too proud to pray
But now at last I’m down here on my knees
[Verse]
And the neon flashes like the alabaster ruins
Sending signals out to the blind
And the people here well they’re always moving
Soon I’ll leave them all behind

[Chorus]
Cuz they can’t take me where
I would rather be
Where my heart leads me to
They can’t take me where I would rather be with You
