[VERSE 1]
      A
Well, out on highway number 41
                       D
Where the land gets dry
    A
And nothin but rocks and a long hot road,
                     D
Under hazy blue skies
               A
Well there's a place I know where time goes slow
                               D
People don't stop there no more
            A
And you can sit right down and watch the world
             E          A
Go rolling by your door.

[VERSE 2]
  A
I worked on the land way out west
                              D
I've dug for diamonds and gold
     A
In a fishing boat, down along the coast
                                   D
But I couldn't get used to the cold
     A
I've been to and from that old town
                    D
Ever since I was ten
    A
But every place that I've found
         A            E     A
Makes me wanna go back again (and I'm back)

[VERSE 3]
A
There was a time when I thought
                                 D
there was nothing I couldn't take
     A
So I packed my bags never to return
                        D
Gonna be the final break
      A
I was doin O.K. but then one day
                            D
I came across a great north wind
         A
Well, it picked me up and turned me around
                E      A
And blew me back again.
