[Intro]
G D Cadd9 G
[Verse 1]
G
I built a fire up on the hill
Cadd9
Sat in the woods and drank my fill
G
Talked to God all night
Cadd9
Took another shot to set me right
D G
Then I walked down to the road
Cadd9 G
Filled a beer can full of .22 holes
D
Then I said goodbye
Cadd9
Yeah, I said goodbye
[Chorus]
D G
I go back but I can't go home
Cadd9 G
The river is up and the road is closed
D G
And there ain't no telephone
Cadd9
At my mothers' house
D
And all the lights are out
G
Down on the rural route
[Interlude]
G D Cadd9 G
[Verse 2]
G
There ain't much of nothin' left
Cadd9
Of this place where I became myself
G
Ghosts and memories
Cadd9
I'd walk on by but they'd follow me
D G
I see Penny on down the road
Cadd9 G
Asked him if he'd seen my brother
D
He just said no
Cadd9
Well, guess I better go
[Chorus]
D G
I go back but I can't go home
Cadd9 G
The river is up and the road is closed
D G
And there ain't no telephone
Cadd9
At my mothers' house
D
And all the lights are out
G
Down on the rural route
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
G
I built a fire up on a hill
Cadd9
I sat in the woods and drank my fill
G
Talked to God all night
Cadd9
Took another shot to set me right
D G
Then I just walked away
Cadd9 G
Ain't nothin' here I want to remember
D
Anyway
Cadd9
Least not today
[Chorus]
D G
And I go back but I can't go home
Cadd9 G
The river is up and the road is closed
D G
And there ain't no telephone
Cadd9
At my mothers' house
D
And all the lights are out
D G
I go back but I can't go home
Cadd9 G
The river is up and the road is closed
D G
And there ain't no telephone
Cadd9
At my mothers' house
D
And all the lights are out
G
Down on the rural route
