[Verse 1]
G C Up in the morning. Rise with the sun. D G I can feel the wind blow on my face as I run G C To the top of the mountain and back down home D G Gadd4 G Where I wait in my desert home.
[Verse 2]
G C My hands are still steady. My feet they still go. D G My back's been broken. My step has been slowed. G C I'm feeling too young to be feeling so old D G Gadd4 G Tucked away in my desert home.
[Chorus]
C G Keep your hands on the table, up where I can see. D G Don't trust you no more, since you lied to me. C D You told me to come back and I know that you won't. G C You promised to love me and I know D D7 That you don't. Anymore.
[Verse 2]
G C I got friends in the country with kids near grown. D G But I never did marry, have one of my own. G C I've still got old Charlie, just not sure for how long. D G Gadd4 G D My good boy. And my desert home.
[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
G C Well that's all there is to it. I know the show must go on. D G And there's life to be lived still. And there's seeds to be sown. G C And I pray that someday I may walk in the sun. D G Far away from my desert home. D C G Far away from my desert home.
