CHORUS:
B7 E
Well we just passed the county line, be home about a half past nine
A F B7 E
See the friends that I once knew, I got a lot of catchin' up to do
B7 E
Have a piece of Mom's apple pie, see the happy tears in her eye
A B7 E E
And I'll never more go away, cause I'm a comin' back home to stay
VERSE:
B7 E
Well I've really been kicked around, lived it up and I've lived it down
A F B7 E
Rode the freights up in Buffalo, been in jail down in Tupelo
B7 E
But with all of my runnin' 'round, happiness I just never found
A B7 E E
Made up my mind last Saturday, that I'm a comin' back home to stay
CHORUS:
B7 E
Well we just passed the county line, be home about a half past nine
A F B7 E
See the friends that I once knew, got a lot of catchin' up to do
B7 E
Have a piece of Mom's apple pie, see the happy tears in her eye
A B7 E
And I'll never more go away, cause I'm a comin' back home to stay
VERSE:
B7 E
When I left I had a lot of dreams, I was really gonna spread my wings
A F B7 E
Show the home folks a thing or two, show 'em what a country boy could do
B7 E
But it didn't take long to see, the city life was not the life for me
A B7 E E
But confidentially that's okay, cause I'm a comin' back home to stay
CHORUS:
B7 E
Well we just passed the county line, be home about a half past nine
A F B7 E
See the friends that I once knew, I got a lot of catchin' up to do
B7 E
Have a piece of Mom's apple pie, watch the happy tears in her eye
A B7 E
And I'll never more go away, cause I'm a comin' back home to stay
A B7 E
And I'll never more go away, cause I'm a comin' back home to stay
