Sun is rising high, burning into the day,
               C#m A               E
I will say goodbye, I’ll be going away,
              E      E/D                 A/C# A
Brush away my doubts, what tomorrow will ho   ld,
                 C#m A               E
Feeling fine for now, going down the road...


             C#m  A                        E
To a city to sing, about the trees and the wind,
                   C#m    A                    E
’Bout the hills in spring, and the rivers that bend,
               E    E/D                  A/C# A
The rocky deep pass, and the poppies and po   sies,
                    C#m   A                E
Running through the grass, up and down the road.

                 C#m A                    E
In the dark they sit  and they holler for more,
                 C#m  A                 E
White smoke in a wisp, from here to the door,
                     E    E/D                      A/C# A
Their admission they paid, for the stories they’re to   ld,
               C#m A                    E
Of a clear new day, hold me down on the road.


                    C#m  A              E
So heavy rain at my back, lazy meadows ahead,
                  C#m   A                E
In my book I keep track, of the promises said.
                  E    E/D                 A/C# A
For my songs in a town, that tomorrow will ho   ld
                 C#m A                E
Feelin’ fine for now, facin’ down the road.
