C
Sonny lives on a farm, on a wide open space
C F C
you can take off your sneekers, and give up the race
G
you can lay down your head, by a sweet river bed
F C G
But Sonny always remembers, what it was his mama said......
C
Sonny carries a load, He is barely a man
C F C
there aint a-lot to do, still he does what he can
G
and he watches the sea, from a room by the stairs
F C G
and the waves keep on rollin, they've done that for years.....

Chorus
C
Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
C F C
and your Daddy's a sailor who never comes home
G
and the nights get so long, and the silence goes on
F C G
and I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong.....
D
Well its a hundred miles to town, Sonny's never been there
D G D
and he goes to the highway and stands there and stares
A
and the mail comes at four, and the mailman is old
G D A
aww but, he still dreams his dreams, full of silver and gold....
(Chorus) ((Substitute D for C, G for F, and A for G))
D
Sonny's dreams can't be real, there just stories he's read
D G D
there just stars in his eyes, there just dreams in his head
A
and he's hungry inside, for the wide world outside
G D A
and I know i can't hold him, Oh I've tried and I tried and I tried
(Chorus) X 2((Substitute D for C, G for F, and A for G))
