You can take off your sneakers and give up the race 
        D 
You can lay down your head by a sweet river bed

Sonny always remembers the words his Mama said___ 

G Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone C G Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home D And the nights get so long and the silence goes on C G D I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong
verse 2: G Sonny carries a load though he's barely a man C G There ain't all that much to do, still he does what he can D And he watches the sea from a room by the stairs C G D And the waves keep on rolling, they've done that for years and for years
G Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone C G Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home D And the nights get so long and the silence goes on C G D I'm feeling so tired and I'm not all that strong
verse 3: G It's a hundred miles to town, Sonny's never been there C G But he goes to the highway and he stands there and stares D And the mail comes at four and the mailman is old C G D Sonny still dreams his dreams full of silver and gold___ verse 4: G Sonny's dreams can't be real, they're just stories he's read C G They're just stars in his eyes, they're just dreams in his head D And he hungers inside for that wide world outside C G D But he knows it can't hold him, though he's tried and he's tried___
G Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone C G Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home D And the nights get so long and the silence goes on C G D I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong G Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone C G Your daddy's a sailor who never comes home D And the nights get so long and the silence goes on C G D C G I'm feeling so tired and I'm not all that strong
