Verse 1:  
D5
 I dream of wide open spaces.  
G5
 Far away places  
        D5            A5
Where a man can be a man.  
  D5
I dream of lookin' out my window  
G5
Out where the grass grows   
         D5        A5         D5
Where no concrete spoils the land.  
  
Chours:  
D5 G5       
 What are we commin' to?  
D5
 What are we gonna do?  
A5                                     D5
 When all the things that are good are gone.  
D5 G5
 Have we all forgotten the   
D5
 Things that make life worth livin'?  
A5                      D5
 Like Texas, family and home.  
  
Verse 2:  
D5
 I think of all the times I spent  
G5
 Sittin' under an oak tree and  
             D5                              A5
Smellin' the fresh air lord and feelin' the breeze.  
           D5
I think of all the people livin'  
       G5
Always takin' never givin'  
        D5              A5                 D5
With no care for their brother man or his needs.  
  
Repeat chorus  

Instrumental  
  
Verse 3:  
D5
 Now the hills hold the highways  
G5
 Plains fill the skyways  
      D5                                 A5
Seems everything's been touched by mans progress.  
     D5
Yea, progress is what they call it;   
           G5
And that's what it is, I guess.  
             D5                 A5                D5
But, all and all,  it seems to me just a big ole mess.  
  
Repeat chorus
