Verse 1:  
D
 I dream of wide open spaces.  
G
 Far away places  
        D            A7
Where a man can be a man.  
  D
I dream of lookin' out my window  
G
Out where the grass grows   
         D        A7         D
Where no concrete spoils the land.  
  
Chours:  
D7 G       
 What are we commin' to?  
D
 What are we gonna do?  
A7                                     D
 When all the things that are good are gone.  
D7 G
 Have we all forgotten the   
D
 Things that make life worth livin'?  
A7                      D
 Like Texas, family and home.  
  
Verse 2:  
D
 I think of all the times I spent  
G
 Sittin' under an oak tree and  
             D                              A7
Smellin' the fresh air lord and feelin' the breeze.  
           D
I think of all the people livin'  
       G
Always takin' never givin'  
        D              A7                 D
With no care for their brother man or his needs.  
  
Repeat chorus  

Instrumental  
  
Verse 3:  
D
 Now the hills hold the highways  
G
 Plains fill the skyways  
      D                                 A7
Seems everything's been touched by mans progress.  
     D
Yea, progress is what they call it;   
           G
And that's what it is, I guess.  
             D                 A7                D
But, all and all,  it seems to me just a big ole mess.  
  
Repeat chorus
