       C 
Let me hear... my momma callin'... "Look a yon-der y'all who's comin'! 
                           G      F                         C 
Down the road, he's comin' home!".... but they know i never will. 
G                            F             C 
I left them livin' with that awful thang i done.... 
G                         F                     G      Gm 
I didn't tell them I just packed my clothes and run....

                                           G     Gm 
Help me make... another dollar... before I go....... 
       C 
We got time... for one more song... then we'll have... to move along... 
                        G       F                       C 
another town... another crowd...  Lord I wonder if they know... 
G                         F           C 
Can they read between the lines in my songs... 
G                 F                   G       Gm 
as i sing about a good boy, that went wrong... 
F                      C 
Guitar we got years to kill... 
F                         C 
Got to climb that distant hill... 
F                         C 
I wonder if they think of me............ 
 
Guitar play....
