  • Verse 1
    We 
    ran 
    off 
    chasing 
    rainbows 

    'Neath 
    the 
    blue 
    Montana 
    sky 

    And 
    we 
    self- 
    proclaimed 
    our 

    freedom 
    with 
    a roar 

    Verse 2

    We 
    crossed 
    those 
    raging 
    rivers 

    And 
    we 
    drank 
    the taverns 
    dry 

    And 
    we 
    bowed 
    our 
    heads 
    to 

    legends 
    gone 
    be
    fore 

    Verse 3
    Are 
    you 
    ready 
    for 
    the 
    long 

    journey 
    home? 

    The flatlands, 
    swamps, 

    and 
    bayous 
    in 
    your 
    bones 

    The simple 
    life 
    tastes 
    sweeter 
    now 

    You 
    have 
    no 
    need 
    to 
    roam 

    Are 
    you 
    ready 
    for 
    the long 

    journey 
    home? 

    Verse 4

    The 
    wind 
    down 
    off 
    the 
    Yellowstone 

    Blows 
    coal 
    trains 
    off 
    their 
    tracks 

    And 
    the water 
    springs 
    eternal 
    from 
    the 
    fire 

    Verse 5

    An 
    eagle 
    flies 
    at 
    sunrise 

    'Cross 
    an 
    aspen 
    grove 
    and 
    back 

    And 
    the 
    moonlight 
    brings 

    blue 
    coyote 
    choir 

    Verse 6

    Are 
    you 
    ready 
    for 
    the 
    long 

    journey 
    home? 

    The flatlands, 
    swamps, 

    and 
    bayous 
    in 
    your 
    bones 

    The 
    simple 
    life 
    tastes 
    sweeter 
    now 

    You 
    have 
    no 
    need 
    to roam 

    Are 
    you 
    ready 
    for 
    the 
    long 
    journey 
    home? 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 7
    In 
    dreams 
    of 
    mile- 
    high 
    cotton 
    fields 

    We 
    once 
    ran 
    barefoot 
    through 

    My 
    dead 
    drunk 
    Un
    cle 
    Fire
    ball 

    growls 
    these 
    words 

    "Blood 
    don't 
    make 
    you 
    family, 
    boy 

    And 
    I've 
    got 
    news 
    for 
    you 

    Rattlesnakes 
    don't 
    sing 

    like 
    speckled 
    bird
    s" 

    Verse 8
    Are 
    you 
    ready 
    for 
    the 
    long 
    journey 
    home? 

    The 
    flatlands, 
    swamps, 

    and 
    bayous 
    in 
    your 
    bones 

    The simple 
    life 
    tastes 
    sweeter 
    now 

    You 
    have 
    no 
    need 
    to 
    roam 

    Are 
    you 
    ready 
    for 
    the 
    long 

    journey 
    home? 

    Are 
    you 
    ready 
    for 
    the 
    long 
    journey

    • 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

      Rose the Black Cat

      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 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      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!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      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.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
