Chord Ricky Skaggs - Casting My Shadow In The Road

[Intro]
C F G C 


[Verse 1]
C                                                         F      G        C 
There was a warm wind weaving throug the trees, it was an early breath of spring
       Am                 F                     G 
Like a young bird soon to leave it's nest, I yearned to streatch my wings
           C                                      G                  Am 
Though the tear drops fell like a morning rain, I knew that I had to go
      F                 C          G             C 
I had always dreamed of casting my shadow in the road


[Verse 2] 
G      C                                       F      G     C 
I couldn't count the times I said goodbye to a city limits sign
         Am      G         F                    G 
Or the countless sweet and gentle hearts in the towns I left behind
       C                                     G                   Am 
Oh but passion rides on the prairie wind and peace in the winter snow
      F              C          G             C 
And I still dream of casting my shadow in the road


[Chorus] 
C                        Bb            F        G    C 
When the evening falls I often stop to rest my weary feet
                                               F                G 
But when the morning sun begins to rise and iI feel the urge to leave
  Am            Dm                   F        G     Am C 
A night of rest fans the flames that burn within my soul
  F                C          G             C 
A burning need for casting my shadow in the road


[Chorus]
C                        Bb            F        G    C 
When the evening falls I often stop to rest my weary feet
                                               F                G 
But when the morning sun begins to rise and iI feel the urge to leave
  Am            Dm                   F        G     Am C 
A night of rest fans the flames that burn within my soul
  F                C          G             Am 
A burning need for casting my shadow in the road
 F                 C          G             C 
A burning need for casting my shadow in the road
