Homecoming

C                                 
I guess I should have written dad 
to let you know that I was coming 
     C7
home

F
But I've been gone so many years I 
didn't realize you had a phone

  C                                
I saw your cattle coming in and boy
 they're looking mighty fat and 
       C7
slick

  F                                
I saw Fred at the service station 
  G7                              
he told me that his wife was awful 
C
sick


You heard my record on the radio oh 
                            C7
well it's just another song

F
But I've got a hit recorded dad 
it'll be out on the market 'fore too
 long

   C                            
Oh I got this ring in Mexico you 
know it didn't cost me quite a bunch
 C7


     F                             
When you're in the business that 
         G7                        
I'm in the people call it putting 
  C
up a front

I know I've lost a little weight and
                                  C7
 I guess I'm a looking kinda pale

F
If you didn't know me better Dad 
you'd think that I've just gotten 
out of jail

   C                          
No we don't ever call 'em beer 
joints night clubs are the places 
              C7
where I work

    F                             
You meet a lotta people there but 
G7                          
no there ain't much chance of 
          C
getting hurt


I'm sorry that I couldn't be here 
with you all when momma passed away
C7


F
I was on the road and when they came
 and told me it was just too late

  C                                
I drove by the grave to see her and
 boy that really is a pretty stone
C7


    F                              
I'm glad that Fred and Jan are here
      G7                        
 it's better than you being here 
 C
alone


I knew you's gonna ask me who the 
                                  C7
lady is who's sleeping in the car

F
That's just the girl that works for 
me and man she plays a pretty mean 
guitar

   C                               
We worked in San Antone last night 
she didn't even have the time to 
     C7
dress

    C                              
She drove me in from Nashville and 
            G7                     
to tell the truth I guess she needs
     C
 the rest


Well dad I gotta go we got a dance 
                               C7
to work in Cartersville tonight

F

call you and I promise you I'll 
write

    C                              
Now you be good and don't be 
chasing all those pretty women that 
   C7
you know

    C                             
And by the way if you see Barbara 
G7                          C
