I was pourin' coffee for table number one
Bm A G
I couldn't help but hear him what was going on
D A
It got my attention when I heard a young man's voice
Bm A G
Saying sheriff I'll be going now if its alright with you boys
A Bm
Those years I spent in prison stole to much time from me
G D/F# Em A
I won't waste another minute if I'm really free
--Chorus--
G D
I'm goin' home my family's waitin' for me Goin' home
I'm amazed that they still love me
Bm A G A
They forgive me for the bitter seeds I've sown
Bm A G
Heaven knows I've been away to long
A D G A
So now I'm going home....
D A
A burger and a special for table number eight
Bm A G
I was bustin' number seven when I heard her young heart break
D A
He told her it was over they could never meet again
Bm A G
That he found a taste of courage twisted on his wedding band
A Bm
Her tears began to fall but they could not touch his heart
G D/F# Em A
I heard him say "I'm sorry But it was all wrong from the start"
--Chorus--

I'm goin' home my family's waitin' for me Goin' home
I'm amazed that they still love me

It's a never ending saga and they're played out every day
D A
But this one's finally over the foods all put away
Bm A G
And the coffee pot stands empty at the Halfway Home Cafe
D A
But over in the corner at table number three
Bm A G
Sits a father and a runaway well it looks that way to me
A Bm
I said "I hate to interrupt you but its really gettin' late"
G D/F# Em A
The young girl looked up smilin she said "Mister that's ok"
