All is Cwell, I've made my peace where highways never end 
Yesterday's a memory, toDmday is just a Gfriend 
For the Cmountains and FMaryann are Dcalling me aGgain 
And the Cred pines will Fbow their Cheads 
The rivers and the FwaterCsheds 
Will Dswallow up my Gtears, all is Cwell
[VERSE 2:]
I left the cold mid-western towns behind 
There's a semi up the road ahead, I'll Dmtake him in my Gtime 
For the Chot blooded Fmountain love is Dcalling me aGgain 
And the Cvagabond withFin me Ccries
The wind and rain might Fburn my Ceyes 
But DI won't feel the Gpain

All is Cwell, as I swing up to the border bent for hell 
And the service station man agreed, I Dmdidn't look too Gwell 
But the Cmountains and FMaryann are Dcalling out to Gme 
And I Cgot my bed roll Fon my back
And Ceverything that I Fcould Cpack 
To Dsee me on my Gway, all is Cwell

I've made my peace and man I'm feeling fine 
And the losers that I left behind I'll Dmthink about some other Gtime 
For the Cborder men were Fall my friends, they Dcouldn't find a Gdime 
And the Cprairie towns go Fsailing Cby
Saskatchewan, there's Fmud in your Ceye 
I'm Dleaving you beGhind 
[VERSE 5:]
There'll be Chot blooded Fmountain love to Dsatisfy my Gsoul 
And the Cred pines will Fbow their Cheads
