[Verse]
G C Em D
When I was six years old I broke my leg
G C Em D
I was running from my brother and his friends
G C Em D
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass as I rolled down
G C
I was younger then,
Em D
Take me back to when...
[Pre-chorus]
C D G
I found my heart and broke it here
C C
Made friends and lost them through the years
D G
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long,
C
I know I've grown
C D
And I can't wait to go home
[Chorus]
G C
I'm on my way
Em D G C
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
Em D
Singing to 'Tiny Dancer'
G C Em D
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
G C Em D
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
(G C Em D)
[Verse]
G C Em D
Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
G C Em D
Running from the law in the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
G C Em
Had my first kiss on a Friday night,
D G
I don't reckon that I did it right
C
But I was younger then,
Em D
Take me back to when...
[Pre-chorus]
C D G
We found weekend jobs, when we got paid
C C
We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
D G C C
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh how we've grown
D
But I can't wait to go home
[Chorus]
G C
I'm on my way,
Em D G C
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
Em D
Singing to 'Tiny Dancer'
G C Em D
And I miss the way you make me feel,and it's real
G C Em D
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
(Em C G D)
[Bridge]
Em C
One friend left to sell clothes,
G D
One works down by the coast,
Em C
One had two kids but lives alone,
G D
One's brother overdosed,
Em C
One's already on his second wife
G D
One's just barely getting by
Em C
But these people raised me
G D
And I can't wait to go home
[Chorus]
G C
I'm on my way,
Em D G C
I still remember these old country lanes,
Em D
When we did not know the answers,
G C Em D
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real,
G C Em D G
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill.
