All My Memories Lyrics - John Denver

All of my memories lay in the life of the highway 

All of my nights in old motels and sleeping alone 

All of my days on the road with no one beside me 

All of my dreams of a place that I can call home 

Somewhere in the shade near the sound of a sweet singin' river 

Somewhere in the sun where the mountains make love to the sky 

Somewhere to build me a faith, a farm and a family 

Somewhere to grow older, and somewhere a reason to try 

'Cause I'm tired of big cities and so tired of big city ways 

Scratchin' off sunsets, and walkin' around in the maze 

Some sweet taxi dancer's tryin' to save me from bein' alone 

Ah, it's much worse than lonely, there is no place that I really belong

I want to be home 

I'm leavin' this city life In my mind I'm flyin' away 

I'm leavin' tomorrow and all of the old yesterdays 

I'm leavin' the trash cans, the bright lights, the telephone lines 

I'm leavin' my sorrows and all of my memories behind 

To see what I find

Somewhere in the shade near the sound of a sweet singin' river 

Somewhere in the sun where the mountains make love to the sky 

Somewhere to build me a faith, a farm, and a family 

Somewhere to grow older, and somewhere a reason to try 

Somewhere to grow older, somewhere to laydown and die
