Somewhere In America

E A E B7 Across the North Dakota hills the twilit road unwinds, E A E B7 E the setting sun sprays showers of gold across the dark green pines. E A E B7 The evening shadows change from grey to an ever deepening blue, E A E B7 E and I’m somewhere in America, half a world away from you. E A E B7 E E A E B7 With sixteen towns behind me, and sixteen more to go, E A E B7 E I’ve long since stopped believing in the romance of the road. E A E B7 Though friends and kind hearts wait for me in the town I’m heading to, E A E B7 E I’m somewhere in America, half a world away from you. E A B7 E And the road goes on and on and on, E A B7 E the road goes on and o….n and on. E A E B7 And here and there along the road, welcoming and bright, E A E B7 E the lights from home and farmstead pierce the dark Dakota night. E A E B7 Their brightness shines on others’ lives, their welcome’s for their own, E A E B7 E and I’m somewhere in America, half a world away from home. E A E B7 E E A E B7 But, well, you know, I love this life, the endless road’s the stage, E A E B7 E that music’s a fever in the blood, a wild bird in the cage. E A E B7 You and I let that wild bird fly, its bright dreams to pursue, E A E B7 E now I’m somewhere in America, half a world away from you. E A B7 E And the road goes on and on and on, E A B7 E and the road goes on and o….n and on. E A E B7 Across the North Dakota hills the twilit road unwinds, E A E B7 E the setting sun sprays showers of gold across the dark green pines. E A E B7 The evening shadows change from grey to an ever deepening blue, E A E B7 E and I’m somewhere in America, half a world away from you.
