I've been going around in a whirlwind, Not knowing which way to go

I've been lost in a jungle of heartaches
A7 D
Looking for what I don't know

I've spread my wings and I've done some things
D7 G
That I never meant to do

It's took me some time but I've made up my mind
A7 D
I'm hanging up my travelin’ shoes

G G G A7 D
Hanging up my travelin’ shoes… My running around is all through

I'm folding my wings up for you, I'm hanging up my travelin’ shoes

A7 A7
I've listened to nothing that life had to tell me
A7 D
Watched all my dreams rise and fall

I've made my mistakes but it's not too late
D7 G
To pull myself out of the blues
G D
It's took me some time but I've made up my mind
A7 D
I'm hanging up my travelin’ shoes

Hanging up my travelin’ shoes… My running around is all through
