about

a little bit of Marquez, a little bit of Townes, a little bit of tarot, and a little bit of Bruce Springsteen. Two people in love, a car, and one last chance...

lyrics

A minor

Am /// E7 ///

Bass intro 4 bars
Guitar intro 4 bars

Melody

(Verse 1)
Lord knows I've had a time
Spending all my dollars and saving my dimes
Just to get back home to you
Without worrying what you would have to do
I once was young now I'm getting old
It once was warm now it's getting cold
I once was bought but now I'm sold
Am / E7/ Am ///
And I'm coming back home to you

(Melody)

(Verse 2 - singer 2)
Lord knows I've been doing wrong
Lying and thieving like a country song
Just to get back home to you
Don't ask me what I had to do
The places I've seen, the people I've been
A rich man's share of lives of sin
The fat of the world's what's kept me thin
Now I'm coming back home to you

(Melody)

(Bridge 1- both singers)
Dm /// Am ///
Only the cards know what's ahead
E7 /// Am ///
Nights in the rain or a feather bed
Only I know what's behind
Keep it to myself, don't you pay it no mind

Pre-solo
Am / G / F / E7 x3
F /// E7

Solo (double time)
Am /// Am /// E7 /// E7 /// x8
Dm /// Am /// E7 /// Am/// x2

(Repeat intro & melody guitar only, tempo 1)

(Verse 3, both singers & melody)

Lord knows I've been on the run
Trying to stay ahead of that setting sun
Just to get back home to you
Though I don't know where I'm running to
You hit the road, it just hits you back
ain't nobody to pick up the slack
Everything dies baby, that's a fact
But I'm coming back home to you

(Bridge 2)
(Singer 2)
No one knows the day or hour
(Singer 1)
I drew the fool and you drew the tower
(Both singers)
Man with a gun with the state behind,
Cover your eyes love, cuz justice is blind
