Lyrics

I grew up in the city
I never really lived there
My heart was in the mountains
Although I'd never been there
I'm just a city boy
Who's longing to see
The deer and the hawk
And hear the music of the trees

This old guitar fills me with memories
And I can hear the music of the trees
I'll regain my sanity in a cold clear mountain stream
And I can hear the music of the trees
Calling me

I'm looking for a friend
That I've never met
A place I've never been to
But it's one I can't forget
Take me from the city
From the noise and blood and grease
Back to Mother Nature
Where I can find some peace

(Chorus)

Out on the one great path
It's hard to find your way
It's hard to hear the music
In what you're trying to say
That's when I grab my guitar
And I wander through my mind
Just checking out the scenery
To see what I might find

(Chorus)

My life's not quite a circle, no
It's not quite up and down
Sometimes it's like I'm flying through the air
Sometimes it's like I'm underground
But I'm always looking forward
Ain't no shadows in my eyes
And when I take the time to see
It's good just to be alive

(Chorus)
