Casting My Shadow In The Road

C F G C

[Verse 1]

C                                 
There was a warm wind weaving 
                        F      G  
throug the trees, it was an early 
      C
breath of spring
       Am                 F       
Like a young bird soon to leave 
              G
it's nest, I yearned to streatch my 
wings
           C                     
Though the tear drops fell like a 
                 G                 
morning rain, I knew that I had to 
 Am
go
      F                 C          
I had always dreamed of casting my 
G             C
shadow in the road

[Verse 2]

G      C                         
I couldn't count the times I said
              F      G     C
 goodbye to a city limits sign
Continues after the ad
         Am      G         F     
Or the countless sweet and gentle
               G
 hearts in the towns I left behind
       C                           
Oh but passion rides on the prairie
          G                   Am
 wind and peace in the winter snow
      F              C        
And I still dream of casting my 
  G             C
shadow in the road

[Chorus]

C                        Bb      
When the evening falls I often 
      F        G    C
stop to rest my weary feet
But when the morning sun begins to 
            F                G
rise and iI feel the urge to leave
  Am            Dm                
A night of rest fans the flames 
   F        G     Am C
that burn within my soul
  F                C          G  
A burning need for casting my 
           C
shadow in the road

[Chorus]

C                        Bb      
When the evening falls I often 
      F        G    C
stop to rest my weary feet
But when the morning sun begins to 
            F                G
rise and iI feel the urge to leave
  Am            Dm                
A night of rest fans the flames 
   F        G     Am C
that burn within my soul
  F                C          G  
A burning need for casting my 
           Am
shadow in the road
 F                 C          G  
A burning need for casting my 
           C
shadow in the road
