Black smoke rollin' out a tailpipe down a dirt road

Old rusty wheels still spinning like new

Barbed wire fence posts and blue skies forever

White frame farm house with a front porch view
Bm A G
Hey I'd give anything for a front porch view
D A Bm G
They say some souls are just born to run
D A Bm G
Well I grew up thinkin' I was one
D A Bm G
But I'm drawn to the west where I come from
Bm A G
Like a sunflower follows the sun
Bm A D A Bm G
Like a sunflower follows the sun

Roots grow deep searching for water

The years move slow when you're waitin' on rain

Life ain't nothing like a postcard picture
D A G
It's a tumbleweed blowing across a dusty plain
Bm A G
Give me a tumbleweed blowing across a dusty plain

Like a sunflower follows the sun

Like a sunflower follows the sun
