Delta Highway Lyrics

CAPO: 2nd Fret
I was on a Delta highway
Twilight rising from the road
Lightning shone on cotton fields
I drove through pink skies alone
Went to Lourdes and Santiago
Traveled down to New Orleans
Between pilgrims and les bon temps
G ~ ~
Live the visions and the dreams
CHORUS:
All this searching leads down such winding roads
Funny how the time goes
So far away from home
Climbed the Yellow Mountain
Held the sun in my hand
Worshipped the warriors
In tombs of ancient lands
Did not reach to the leper
Though she gave me a smile
I just played this old guitar
G ~ ~
Amidst a 1000 Chinese eyes
CHORUS:
All this searching leads down such winding roads
Funny how the mind goes
So far away from home
INSTRUMENTAL: G ~ ~ ~ Am D G Am D G ~ ~ ~ Am D G Am D G Am
Maybe on the midland prairies
We could trace familiar tears
Or wander through the desert
In hopes of Tunis or Algiers
And may the Moors next enchant me
Tall, dark friend I have known
But when on the Delta highway
G ~ ~
I'll think of you and you alone
CHORUS:
All this searching leads down such winding roads
Funny how the mind goes
So far away from home
CHORUS:
All this searching leads down such winding roads
Funny how the mind goes
So far away from home
