[Intro]
G C G D (x4)
[Verse]
G C G D
Well I’m driving through Nevada, just as fast as I can
G C G D
Fresh from Lake Tahoe with a nugget wrapped in a setlist
G C G D
I’m heading south of Boise with campfire in my hair
G C G D
I’ve been losing all my inhibitions somewhere out here
[Break]
G C G D (x2)
[Verse]
G C G D
They say I live a life romantic, but ain’t got a penny to my name
G C G D
I could come here and leave with nothing and be happy just the same
G C G D
These people they climb the pulpit they try to convince me to stay
G C G D
But I don’t stay around long enough to hear what they have to say
[Chorus]
G C G
You know I’m gone, gone, gone
D G C G
Like shadows on your lawn
D G C G
Like a cold wind blowing strong
D C G D
I go back down like the sun and I’m always there

[Verse]
G C G D
And these people ain’t got much they just clap and sing along
G C G D
But in the end thats all a folk singer could ever want
G C G D
Yea some of these bosses are saints and some of them ain’t here
G C G D
But from Austin to Missoula I just do whatever it takes
G C G D
And this preacher digs my music but he’s worried about my soul
G C G D
Says if I don’t playing guitar he reckons I won’t die at all
G C G D
Cause I play on this thing more often than I breathe
G C G D
If you can’t kill me in mid-song then you can’t kill me
[Chorus]
G C G
No I’m gone, gone, gone

Like shadows on your lawn

Like a cold wind blowing strong

I go back down like the sun and I’m always there
[Break]
G C G D (x8)
[Bridge]
G C G D
This wide-eyed local finds me and he throws me to the
G C G D
He says you look just like Jesus without the blood without the crown
G C G D
He begs me for salvation, I just give him a meager dose
G C G D
Just enough to get him going to the next folk show
G C G D
And I’ve been dreaming of the woman who simply lets me want her
G C G D
With lips as red as Moab, as wet as Gualala
G C G D
Yea she holds me in her arms, yea she treats me like a prayer
G C G D
She says: I won’t let you die lest you first promise to live
[Chorus]
G C G
You know I’m gone, gone, gone
D G C G
Like shadows on your lawn
D G C G
Like a cold wind blowing strong
D C G D
I go back down like the sun and I’m always there
[Outro]
C C C
I go back, back, back
G
Just like the sun honey
C D G
And I’m al- always there
