I'll tell you it's sad but true I'm saying goodbye to you Leaves me nowhere at all No place to fall, nothin' but blue Tell me and tell me now As sweet
When the rain is fallin' you can hear me callin' Been gone so long that I wanna cry In all the cities that I see, this open road has taken me To another
There ain't no kingdom bigger Ain't no money worth Be you saint or sinner Be in heaven or on earth Behond the Rock of Ages Feel that fiery sword Forgive
boy from the hills Dirty boots, ain't got no city shoes No hundred dollar bills Now I spend my evening Dreamin' 'bout that big mother lode Dancin' down this dark mountain
