lay in the life of th e highway
A ll of my nights in old motels and sleepin g alone
A ll of my days on the road with no one be side me
A ll of my dreams of a place that I can call h ome
S omewhere in the shade near the sou nd of a sweet singin' r iver
S omewhere in the sun where the mountains make love to the sky
S omewhere to build me a faith a farm and a f amily
S omewhere to grow older and somewh ere a reason to try
' Cause I'm tired of big cities and s o tired of big city w ays
S cratchin' off sunsets and wal kin' around in the maze
S ome sweet taxi dancer's tryin' to sa ve me from bein' alone
A h it's much worse than lonely there is no place that I really belong
I want to be ho me
I 'm leavin' this city life In my mi nd I'm flyin' aw ay
I 'm leavin' tomorrow and all o f the old yeste rdays
I 'm leavin' the trash cans the bri ght lights the telephon e lines
I 'm leavin' my sorrows and behi nd
T o see what I f ind
S omewhere in the shade near the sound of a sweet singin' r iver
S omewhere in the sun where the mountains make love to the sky
S omewhere to build me a faith a farm and a f amily
S omewhere to grow older and somew here a reason to try
S omewhere to grow older some where to lay down an d die
