[C] Leavin' home, [F]out on the [C]road
[F] I've been down be[C]fore
[C]Ridin' along on this big ol' jet plane,
I've been [F]thinkin' about my [C]home
But my [C]love light seems so far away
And I [Bb]feel like it's [F]all been [C]done
[C]Somebody's tryin' to make me stay,
You know I've [Bb]got to be [F]movin' [C]on
