(Verse)
D
We ran off chasing rainbows
A
'Neath the blue Montana sky
Bm A D
And we self-proclaimed our freedom with a roar
D
We crossed those raging rivers
A
And we drank the taverns dry
Bm A
And we bowed our heads to legends
D
Gone before
(Chorus)
G A D
Are you ready for the long journey home?
G A D
The flatlands, swamps and bayous in your bones
G A
The simple life tastes sweeter now
D G
You have no need to roam
D A D
Are you ready for the long journey home?
(Verse)
D
The wind down off the Yellowstone
A
Blows coal trains off their tracks
Bm A D
And the water springs eternal from the fire
D
An eagle flies at sunrise
A
'Cross an aspen grove and back
Bm A D
And the moonlight brings a blue coyote choir
(Chorus)

D A Bm A D (2x)
(Verse)
D
In dreams of mile-high cotton fields
A
We once ran barefoot through
Bm A D
My dead drunk Uncle Fireball growls these words
D
"Blood don't make you family, Boy
A
And I've got news for you
Bm A D
Rattlesnakes don't sing like speckled birds"
(Chorus)
