Going Home To Do My Time

G                                 
The barroom crowd is thinning out 
   C               G
it must be getting late

But if I’m free tomorrow night I’ll 
                 D7
meet you here by eight

     G                             
It’s hard to kiss two lips goodbye 
       C                G
that’s sweeter than the wine

    C               G            
The hardest part of all is going 
D7            G
home to do my time


         C                         
From the minute I walk through the 
       G
door I know how it will be

     C                           
I’ll sit across the room and wish 
       G                D7
she’d stop starring at me

We both tried but it’s no good our 
C                  G
love’s dead on the vine

    C              G           
Yet I must pay for loving you by 
        D7            G
going home to do my time


I’ve never found the happiness at 
C                G
home I find with you

And if she were all that’s holding 
                           D7
me I’d make my dreams come true

    G                              
But you know how much I love those 
C              G
little kids of mine

        C               G     
They’re all I’ve got to keep me 
        D7            G
going home to do my time


         C                         
From the minute I walk through the 
       G
door I know how it will be

     C
