1. Born and raised as a rich
man’s son,
F C
you
were always the restless one,
C Dm
living
high only made you low,
F C
so
you packed up and hit the road.

2. Stole a ride on a westbound train,
F C
called
yourself by another name.
C Dm
Spent your nights in a mission
home,
F C
cast
away the life that you’d known.
+ CHORUS
C Dm
3. As you rise in the
morning rain,
F C
take
a look down that road again,
C Dm
does
the thought ever grab your mind,
Fm C
or the
life that you’ve left behind ?
