[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.
