John Denver All of My Memories song lyrics

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
