    • Verse 1
    You 





    Dakota's 
    sky 
    made 
    us 
    feel 
    like 
    the river 
    running 
    free, 

    run
    ning 
    free, 
    free, 

    And 
    when I 
    die, 

    ring 
    the wheels 
    that 
    deliv
    er 

    Rest
    less 
    me, 
    oh, 
    restless 
    me 

    Interlude 1







    Verse 2
    the 
    clack, 
    clack, 
    clack, 
    the train 
    rolling 
    down 
    the 
    track 
    to 
    carry 
    me home, 

    back 
    where 
    I 
    belong. 

    Let 
    me 
    hear the 
    clack, 
    clack, 
    clack
    , 
    the 
    train 
    rolling 
    down 
    the 
    track 
    to 
    carry me 
    home, 

    back 
    where I 
    be
    long. 



    In 
    the town 
    squares 
    and the 
    schoolyards 
    of the heartland 

    they 
    found a 
    strange 
    common 

    ground with 
    the sleepless 
    quest 
    of 
    this oldest 

    living 
    son. 


    Sikkim 
    oars 
    grow 
    in 
    the 

    long 
    planted 
    rows 

    Out 
    there 
    to break 
    the 

    April 
    wind 

    Still 
    the 
    dust 
    it 
    always 
    blows 

    In 
    her 
    eyes 
    and in 
    her clothes 

    And 
    it's 
    in 
    our 
    very 
    souls 

    Like 
    a 
    song 
    about 
    me 
    and 

    Jim 

    The 
    back 
    of 
    my hand 

    Started 
    look
    ing 
    like 
    a man's 

    Way 
    back 
    when 
    I 
    was 
    only 
    ten 

    Still 
    the 
    lonesome 
    in 
    me cries 
    like 

    a little 
    boy 
    sometimes 

    You 
    can hear 
    it 
    scream 
    when I 

    come on 
    scream
    in' 
    like 
    the wind 

    Me 
    and 

    Jim 
    were 
    gettin' 
    thin 
    and 

    fare 
    thee 
    well 
    to 
    him 

    And 
    fare 
    thee 
    well 
    now, 

    I'm gonna take 
    good 
    care 
    of him 

    Me 
    and 

    Jim 
    are 
    getting 
    thin, 

    and 
    fare 
    thee 
    well, 
    dear 

    But 
    there 
    ain't 
    no 
    way 
    to 
    run 
    from 
    the 

    oldest 
    dif
    ference 


    Our 
    dad, 
    he was 
    a gentleman 
    when 

    we all 
    worked 
    at the store. 

    The 
    only 
    time 
    that 
    I saw 
    him mad 
    was 

    when 
    he 
    talked about 
    the 
    war. 

    We 
    lost 
    a 
    boy at 

    Bellwood 
    and 
    I 
    guess he 
    just never 
    really 

    understood 
    what 
    the 
    medals 
    from 

    the 
    president 
    before 
    me 
    and 
    jim 
    were 
    getting 
    thin 

    and 
    fanny 
    well 
    to him 
    fanny 
    well 
    now 
    mom 

    gonna 
    take 
    good 
    care 
    of him 

    In 

    Jim, 
    getting 
    thin, 
    and fairly 
    welding 

    But 
    there 
    ain't 
    nowhere 
    to 

    run 
    for 
    the 
    oldest 
    living 
    soul

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
