Album:

Aerie

All of my memories lay in the life of the highway 
 All of my nights in old motels and sleeping alone 
 All of my days on the road with no one beside me 
 All of my dreams of a place that I can call home 
 Somewhere in the shade near the sound of a sweet singin' river 
 Somewhere in the sun where the mountains make love to the sky 
 Somewhere to build me a faith, a farm and a family 
 Somewhere to grow older, and somewhere a reason to try 
 'Cause I'm tired of big cities and so tired of big city ways 
 Scratchin' off sunsets, and walkin' around in the maze 
 Some sweet taxi dancer's tryin' to save me from bein' alone 
 Ah, it's much worse than lonely, there is no place that I really belong 
 I want to be home 
 I'm leavin' this city life 
 In my mind I'm flyin' away 
 I'm leavin' tomorrow and all of the old yesterdays 
 I'm leavin' the trash cans, the bright lights, the telephone lines 
 I'm leavin' my sorrows and all of my memories behind 
 To see what I find 
 Somewhere in the shade near the sound of a sweet singin' river 
 Somewhere in the sun where the mountains make love to the sky 
 Somewhere to build me a faith, a farm, and a family 
 Somewhere to grow older, and somewhere a reason to try 
 Somewhere to grow older, somewhere to laydown and die
