All My Memories lyrics

Artist  : John Denver 
Song : All My Memories
 
This song appears on two albums, and was first
released on the aerie album, and has also been
released on the country roads collection album.

All of my memories lay in the life of the
highway
All of my nights in old motels a sleepin’ 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
Scrathin’ off sunset, 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
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 of
telephone lines
I’m leavin’ my sorrows of all of my memories
behind
I’ll 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, a family
Somewhere to grow older, and somewhere a reason
to try
Somewhere to grow older, somewhere to laydown and
die
