[Intro]
G
[Verse]
C G Em
I was just a small boy in a northern Newfie town,
G D G
Wide eyes and big dreams of leavin' home.
C G Em
Didn't want to wait 'till I was old enough to wander,
G D G
So I travelled in my mind when I was alone.
[Verse]
C G Em
I'd daydream 'bout the bright lights and big cities,
G D G
And I'd lay awake at night waiting for the time,
C G Em
When I could pack my bags, and I could head out for adventure,
G D G
Never dreamin' once about what's behind.
[Chorus]
C G Em
I'm just dreamin' of the road that's leavin' home,
G D G
Somewhere out there I just want to roam.
C G Em
Starin' out the window at the water, trees, and stone,
G D G
And dreamin' of the road that's leavin' home.
[Verse]
C G Em
Well, I finally hit the age of adult freedom,
G D G
Could see if now I'd make it on my own.
C G Em
No worries, cares, or anyone to guide me,
G D G
It wasn't long before the turns I took were wrong.
[Verse]
C G Em
And I spent some nights behind the gates of freedom,
G D G
Was my first taste of loneliness and fear.
C G Em
A-and Monday morning they said, boy, you're leavin',
G D G
And I swore that I would never go back there.
[Chorus]
C G Em
But that's the cracks upon a road that's leavin' home,
G D G
This dreamin' ain't so easy all alone.
C G Em
I've been starin' out this window at the water, trees and stone,
G D G
And dreamin' of the road that takes me home.
[Verse]
