Casting My Shadow In The Road
Recorded by Ricky Skaggs 
Written by Jimmy Rushing and Randy Scruggs
 
C                     G7      C
There was a warm wind weaving through the trees
          F     G7        C
It was an early breath of spring
       Am         G7      F
Like a young bird soon to leave its nest
  G7
I yearn to spread my wings
           C
Though the teardrops fell like a morning rain
  G7            Am
I knew I had to go 
      F
I had always dreamed of
C          G7            C
Casting my shadow in the road 
 
                     G7      C
I couldn't count the times I said goodbye
     F    G7    C
To a city limit sign
       Am        C         F
Or the countless sweet and gentle farms
        G7
And the towns I've left behind
       C
Oh but passion rides on the prairie winds
    G7            Am
And recent winter snow 
    F
And I still dream of
C          G7            C
Casting my Shadow in the road
 
 
When the evening comes I often stop
   F             C
To rest my weary feet
 
But when the morning sun begins to rise
      F                G7
And I feel the urge to leave
  Am            Dm
A night of rest fans the flame
     F         G7    Am  C
That burns within my soul 
  F
A burning need for 
C          G7            C
Casting my shadow in the road

 
When the evening comes I often stop
   F             C
To rest my weary feet
 
But when the morning sun begins to rise
      F                G7
And I feel the urge to leave
  Am            Dm
A night of rest fans the flame
     F         G7    Am  C
That burns within my soul 
  F
A burning need for 
C          G7            Am
Casting my shadow in the road
 
  F
A burning need for
C          G7            C
Casting my shadow in the road
