Key: A
Introduction: A E F#m D A E A
C# D
Lookin' out my window, lookin' down the road
Dm A E D
I would like to go far away, away from this place
C# D
I wanna see the world before I die
Dm
Before too many years go by
A E D
I've got to go, before I get too old, so
A E F#m D
I'm going away and I'm leaving today
A E A
And I won't be back for while
A E F#m D
I'm gettin' on a train, a bus, or a plane
A E A
I'm gonna leave this place in style
A E F#m D
But before I go I just want you to know
A E A
That although it hasn't been very long
A E F#m D
We'll meet again together my friend
A E A
And we'll laugh and we'll sing this song
A E A
Yeah we'll laugh and we'll sing this song
C# D
Friends will leave you, and they will say farewell
Dm A E D
And you can never tell just why they go, you don't know, you don't know
C# D
I want life's music to softly hit my ears
Dm
You know I've been waiting for years
A E D
To take the chance and to dance with the wind, so
CHORUS
Bm D
Cause I can't be tied down, sittin' in a one horse town
A E
I've got to know who I am
Bm D
I pray for you all the time you'll always be on my mind
A E
And I hope you'll understand
CHORUS
