Well over the years of my lifetime I've covered the breadth of this land
         D                        Em        A7                       D
From the shores of the shimmering oceans to deserts of salt bush and sand

And people will often ask me "Isn't it time for a rest"

And I played in the halls and the sideshows; I played to the folks way out West
                             G             Em
For the road is my home it's all that I've known

And I'm still here to give it my best. Mike Kerin!
