John Denver — All of My Memories

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] '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 tryin' to save me from bein' alone Ah, it's much worse than lonely, there is no place I really belong I want to be home [Verse 4] 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 sorrow and all of my memories behind To see what I find [Verse 5] 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, a family Somewhere to grow older, and somewhere a reason to try Somewhere to grow older, somewhere to lay down and die
