[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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.
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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.
