[Verse 1]
G C G
This road winds down through the valley,
Am D7 G
Through the warm green meadows I call home.
G7 C Am
Turn around, and it leads across the mountains,
G C G
Where the wind keeps telling me to roam.
[Verse 2]
G C G
Down this road there's a fire always burning.
Am D7 G
There's a place at the table set for me.
G7 C Am
It's the same road that leads way over yon-der,
G C G
Where there's such a lot of world I'd like to see.
G C G
There's so much of this old world I long to see.
[Bridge]
C G
Tell my momma not to worry.
Am D7 G
I couldn't bear to know I made her cry.
C G
Tell my poppa if you see him.
Em A7 D7
I tried, but I just couldn't say goodbye.
[Verse 3]
G C G
I long to see the places they call somewhere
Am D7 G
It's been my dream ever since my life began.
G7 C Am
And someday when my wandering days are o-o-ver,
G C
I'll be coming back this road
G C
You'll see me walking down the road
G C
I'll be coming back this road,
G
A better man.
