I think I know now__ what’s mak-in’ me sad,

-4  -3 -4    5   6   -6 -7_-8 -6_6 -7____
it’s a yearn-in’ for my old__ back door._

-4 -4 5  6_-6 -7  -8 -7 -6  6     5  -4
 I re-al-ize_ may-be  I was wrong to leave.

-4  -3  -4   5   6   -6 -7  -8 -6   6   -7____
Bet-ter swal-low all my sil-ly coun-try pride.

7_ -7  -6_6    7_  -7   -6_6
Go–in’ home,   run–nin’ home,

6    -6 7   6 -6   6  -4  5    -4 -4    5  6_
down to Gas-o-line Al-ley where I start-ed from.

7_ -7  -6_6  6   6   7_  -8   -7_
Go-in’ home, and I’m run-nin’ home,

6    -6 -7  6 -6   6  6   5    -4_ 5   6_ 
down to Gas-o-line Al-ley where I_ was born.

-4   5   6     -6   -7  -8  -7  -6  6_    5  -4  
When the weath-er’s bet-ter and the rails un-freeze,

-4  -3  -4_5 6_-6  -7   -8   -6    6  -7____
and the wind don’t whis-tle ‘round my knees,

-4 -4_5 6  -6 -7    -8 -7   -6  6     6  5   5    -4
 I put_ on my weath-er suit and catch an eve-nin’ train.

-4   -3 -4   5  6    -6  -7     -7 -6 6   -7____
I’ll be home be-fore the milk’s up-on the door._

should the blood run_ cold_ in my veins,

just one_ fa-vor I’ll be ask-in’ of you
