Key: D
Introduction:
D
I remember waking in the morning
A
To the sound of the rooster's crow
Mamma cooking in the kitchen
D
Arthur Godfrey on the radio
D
Me and Dad were just like strangers
A
We never did see eye to eye
Came to blows one Sunday morning
D F C/G D
So i packed my bags and i said goodbye
/ Em
A D
A train won't run on a torn up track
G D Em
Sometimes i wish i'd never roamed,oh no
A D
'cause when you leave that way you can never go home
D
Then i met a girl in Knoxville
A
Oh,we set our wedding day
I left her standing at the alter
D
With a baby on the way
Chorus.
G A D
Lord i'd love to see my mom and daddy
G A Bm
And what i'd give to hold that boy of mine
G A D
I'd get down on my knees and i say i'm sorry
E A
If i could only go back one more time
D
But i killed a man in Houston
A
When he caught me with his wife
And i told the preacher man to leave me alone
D
When he came to read my rights
/ Em
A D
A soul won't roll on a torn up track
G DEm
All through eternity you'll roam alone
A D
'cause when you leave this way you can never come home
G DEm
All through eternity you'll roam alone
A Bm
'cause when you leave this way you can never come home
