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

Verse 2:

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

When the evening falls I often stop to rest my weary feet

But when the morning sun begins to rise and iI feel the urge to leave
