There is no intro to this song. It just starts with a run of G and A and lands on the first C chord on the
word "Sittin."
[Verse 1]
G A C Em
So I'm sitting here today watching the time tick away
Am G
Watchin' people run like ants as their lights slowly fade
C Em
So today won't be the day that I surrender all for pay
Am G
No matter how it ends I will do it my own way
C Em
So I keep this life a movin' aint got time to sit and rust
Am G
You won't find me in a museum on the shelf collectin' dust
C Em
For my life is on the highway, country roads and off the trail
Am G
Got that E150 ragin damn near comin' off the rails
[Chorus]
F C
Today might be the day I break my life away
G F
Cause I can't seem to get it right when I try to live their way
C G
So I'm leavin' now. I'm off on my own
F C
Here and there and everywhere is where I'll make my home
[Interlude]
C Em Am G
C Em Am G
[Verse 2]
C Em
So I'll be on my way just looking for some shade
Am G
& a place to rest my bones by a river or a lake
C Em
But don't make no mistake it nothin I gotta shake
Am G
Steady steppin on the gas & I ain't got time to break
C Em
No more pickin up the pieces shakin' off the broken parts
Am G
I live this life for my now & what's true inside my heart
C Em
Well I finally got it started rollin' hard and gainin' steam
Am G
No I'm seein' all the world and I'm livin' out my dream
[Chorus]
F C
Today might be the day I break my life away
G F
Cause I can't seem to get it right when I try to live their way
C G
So I'm leavin' now. I'm off on my own
F C
Here and there and everywhere is where I'll make my home
[Interlude]
C Em Am G
C Em Am G
[Verse 3]
C Em
Well this world is all around you, It's right within your reach
Am G
I've been to Chula Vista & all the way to Cocoa Beach
C Em
From Dallas up to Woosta & to Nasvhille Tennesse
Am G
To the Salt Flats in Bonneville & everywhere between
C Em
From Los Alamos to Vegas, almost didn't leave Oceanside
Am G
Surfed in the Pacific and almost went out with the tide
C Em
Now while I love Minnesota there's so much out there to see
Am G
And where steel belts meet with tar that's where I'll always be
[Chorus]
F C
Today might be the day I break my life away
G F
Cause I can't seem to get it right when I try to live their way
C G
So I'm leavin' now. I'm off on my own
F C
Here and there and everywhere is where I'll make my home
F C
Here and there and everywhere is where I'll make my home
F C
Here and there and everywhere is where I'll make my home
