I'm Cweary from this river
It flows far but never nearer to my hoFme
And the war's upon the shG7ores
Keep the Csingle girls indFoors
And so Dmall my love songs Gfall on wasted eaCrs
----
I grow Ctired of this highway, it runs far but never my way
Don't you knFow
But the company of strG7angers
And the Cclose and the present dFangers
Seem to Dmpick me up like an Gold crow in the sCnow

Cuz I'm a Fstranger Cin a strFange land

It seems Cslow but it sure B/Cdoes Amshine

I'm Cweary of this losin'
What choice is there in choosin if you fFind
Yourself a stranger in a G7stranger place
With your Cbeat up shoes and an oFld suitcase
And a Dmwrist watch that don't Gever seem to tell the tCime

But there's a Cwarm and a gentle feeling, it ain't never worth concealin
what you Fsee
and the reins inside my bG7rains
keeps the Cmemories contaiFned
but i Dmmiss you like the wGind misses the trCees

I'm weary from this river

It flows far but never nearer to my home

And the war's upon the shores

Keep the single girls indoors

And so all my love songs fall on wasted ears

Seem to pick me up like an old crow in the snow
