[Intro]
E C#m E C#m
[Verse 1]
EEast in JC#mune
Trade the briEghtest greens of Summer
For the drC#meams of navy blue
EaEst in JuC#mne
Leave the caElm Pacific breeze
For an AtlC#mantic rendezvous
[Chorus]
A'Cause I've been driving for dEays, on down a dusty roBadA  
I can't wait to dive in the wavEes, can't wait to lighten my lBoad
And as the C#msun dips down I knoAw
No matter whC#mere my body goAes
Every C#mroad eventualBly leads me back hEome
[Verse 2]
EI am gonna see if I can get to C#mTennessee
And write a sonEg about the sea
That we can sC#ming along to
EI am gonna see if I can get to C#mTennessee
And write a sEong about the sea
To cure my landlC#mocked blues
[Chorus]
'CaAuse I've been driving for daEys, on down a dusty rBoad
We're Bgonna get there, we're gonBna get back homeA  
I can't wait to dive in the waEves, can't wait to lighten my loaBd
We'rBe gonna get bacBk to the coastA  
And as the sC#mun dips down I knoAw (we know)
No matter whC#mere my body goAes (we go)
Every rC#moad eventuallBy leads G#me back homEe
To the ocean we know
Every roC#mad eventuallBy leads me back homEe
[Bridge]
To the G#moceanC#m, to the G#moceaC#mn
My heart's tied to the coaAst
IAf I stay I'll be a ghoEst
YoEu wouldn't like me anyBway
To the G#moceaC#mn, to the G#moceaC#mn
I take my air with some saAlt
AI hear the wind and waves a-calliEng
IEt's not my fault, it's DNBA
[Verse 3]
'CauEse that's the way its got C#mto go
When I dErive back through NashC#mville
