E          A         E 
I'm going back, back home real soon  
                   E                     B7 
I'm gonna see that gal the one I love so true 
         A                      E 
I think about her in the loving ways  
                     B                E    
You know it keeps me from wandering astray 
 
 
When you've been gone for a month or two 
It's hard to keep your mind and yourself to you 
I'd like to roam all night and all day 
But your sweet love keeps me from wandering astray 
 
Steel solo 
 
If you got a good gal one that loves you true 
Don't you play around or this'll happen to you 
You'll walk the floor and you'll moan and say  
I wish I never had wandered astray 
 
God don't get me wrong I was red blooded as you 
But what take the chance of bein' alone and blue 
When I get home I'd like to hear her say  
I love you dear I'll never wander astray
