I have seen all I care to see 
        Em               D        G 
Of this world; it has no more for me 
           G       C       G 
I need the calm forgiving peace 
           Em           Am7  G 
That only comes from my family 

           Em   C    G

             Em              Am7  G 
And I'm going back … where I came from 

                G             C       G 
Like an old oak tree that no longer grows 
               Em         Am7  G 
This time went by, I got hol-low 
                   G                                C      G 
If you don't know when to stay,  If you don't know when to go 
                  Em                Am7   G 
Then you might be building your own gal - lows

My father's got his hands fixing something

My brother says that he's just glad to see my face
