There comes a time when all men's fancies
Turn towards the open road
There comes a day when a woman's kisses
Cannot erase the need to go

I hear the call of distant mountains
Running through my brain like a fountain
I'm going to say my goodbye to the rain
And chase the sunshine again

I'm looking for the long-lost highway
That I left a time ago
I'm going back to the fields and by-ways
Where summer winds will cool my soul

I'm going to leave these cities of burning
And I've got no thoughts of returning
I'm going to say my goodbye to the rain
And chase the sunshine again

Keep me a place in the sun
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Lord, I'm coming home

Some men may say I'm a man of vision
Some may say that I'm a fool
They'll never know for all their wisdom
What is behind the things I do

I do not care for all their learning
They do not understand my yearning
I'm going to say my goodbye to the rain
And chase the sunshine again

I'm going to say my goodbye to the rain
And chase the sunshine again
