Performed: Hoyt Axton and Renee Armand [1]
| G | C | G |
| When I was | young I dreamed of | highways |
| C | G |
I never | knew I'd find you | there |
| C | G |
You got yours, | and I've got | my ways |
| D7 | C | G |
It's all | gone, | and I don't | care |
| C | G |
Then come | lay down here on my | pillow |
| C | G |
I've got to | see you one more | time |
| C | G |
Don't tell lies, | they're hard to | handle |
| D7 | C | G |
It's too | late, | to change my | mind |
| D7 | G |
| Some words don't come | easy |
| D7 | G |
| Some don't come at | all |
| C | G | D7 |
I | don't think I'll be | talking when you | leave |
| G | C | G |
Late last | night I | thought I heard you | crying |
| C | G |
I guess you had some | troubles in your | sleep |
| C | G |
And the only | sound I can | rely on |
| D7 | C | G |
Is the | song you're | singing when you | leave |
| G | C | G |
| When I was | young I dreamed of | highways |
| C | G |
I never | knew I'd lose you | there |
| C | G |
You got yours, | and I've got | my ways |
| D7 | C | G |
It's all | gone, | and I don't | care |
| D7 | C | G |
It's all | gone, | and I don't | care |
