Chorus:
B7E
Well we just passed the county line, be home about a half past nine
AFB7E
See the friends that I once knew, I got a lot of catchin' up to do
B7E
Have a piece of Mom's apple pie, see the happy tears in her eye
AB7EE
And I'll never more go away, cause I'm a comin' back home to stay
Verse:
B7E
Well I've really been kicked around, lived it up and I've lived it down
AFB7E
Rode the freights up in Buffalo, been in jail down in Tupelo
B7E
But with all of my runnin' 'round, happiness I just never found
AB7EE
Made up my mind last Saturday, that I'm a comin' back home to stay
Chorus:
B7E
Well we just passed the county line, be home about a half past nine
AFB7E
See the friends that I once knew, got a lot of catchin' up to do
B7E
Have a piece of Mom's apple pie, see the happy tears in her eye
AB7E
And I'll never more go away, cause I'm a comin' back home to stay
Verse:
B7E
When I left I had a lot of dreams, I was really gonna spread my wings
AFB7E
Show the home folks a thing or two, show 'em what a country boy could do
B7E
But it didn't take long to see, the city life was not the life for me
AB7EE
But confidentially that's okay, cause I'm a comin' back home to stay
Chorus:
B7E
Well we just passed the county line, be home about a half past nine
AFB7E
See the friends that I once knew, I got a lot of catchin' up to do
B7E
Have a piece of Mom's apple pie, watch the happy tears in her eye
AB7E
And I'll never more go away, cause I'm a comin' back home to stay
AB7E
And I'll never more go away, cause I'm a comin' back home to stay
