[1] All the places I have been to all the [6m] things that [5] I have [4] seen
Since I [1] left my home to wander when I was just [5] fifteen
Though the [1] travelin' was easy still some-[6m]-times the [5] road got [4] rough
By the [1] time that I turned thirty five I [5] thought I'd seen e-[1]-nough

But for me to settle down awhile was not what God had planned
So one more time I left my home with suitcase in my hand
Oh the journey took me far and wide across the deep blue sea
And now I know since I've been there where I was meant to be

I've seen [4] sunsets on the ocean I've [1] seen the desert bloom
[4] I've driven endless highways [1] beneath the prairie [5] moon
Yet the [1] picture in my mind I see when I [6m] think a-[5]-bout it [4] all
Is the [1] color of the leaves in Caro-[5]-lina in the [1] fall

Now for thirty years I've played the songs that Doc has taught to me
And the things that he had sung about I never thought I'd see
In the hills of Carolina folks have opened up the door
And for the first time in my life I'm not a stranger anymore
