[Verse]
                  E      D  
She opened up the letter from 
  E               A
Nashville, Ten- nessee
                            D      
He said, "Hon, they like my music, 
E                             A
the songs I wrote for you and me"
                           D     
The boys and me just cut a record 
and it could hit the charts before 
     A
too long
                   E               
So it's gonna be a while 'til I can
           A    G D A
 come back home

[Chorus]
                    D              
Yes, I'm gonna be a country star 
                        A
and everyone will know my name
                          E     
Ah, you know I love those bright 
                                A  
lights when I step on stage to sing
  G D A

                            D      
I'll be travlin' 'round the country
                      A
 with a big bus and a band
                            E
So just keep the home fires burnin' 
while I'm gone
                              A   
And I'll get back home when I can

                            E      
She said, "Hun, I hear your record,
 D        E              A
 aw, they play it every- day
                     D         E  
And everybody really likes it, so 
                     A
I guess your on your way
                        D        
But darling, please re- member we 
                      A
all need you here at home
                            E      
And the kids all miss their daddy, 
                 A         G D A
so don't be gone too long"

[Chorus]
                       D           
Yes I know that your a country star
                          A
 and everybody knows your name
                          E     
And I know you love those bright 
lights when you step on stage to 
 A    G D A
sing
                     D           
Just remember we all love you and 
                          A
don't get blinded by the light
We'll just keep the home fires 
E
burnin' while you're gone
                              A    
You know we pray for you each night

                         F      Eb
After six long months of goin', I 
          F                     
guess the road just finally took 
      Bb
it's toll
'Cause his songs had lost all 
Eb      F                     Bb
meaning and he felt so all a- lone
                  Eb               
Then one night in Jackson, he went 
                Bb
out on stage to play
                        F          
And the crowd stared at disbelief 
                      Bb  Ab Eb Bb
at the words he had to say

[Chorus]
                     Eb            
I don't want to be a country star, 
                                Bb
it ain't the way I thought it'd be
                        F          
Well, it took me such a long time 
to know that it ain't the life for
Bb Ab Eb Bb
 me
                           Eb    
'Cause the days can get so lonely 
                           Bb
and the nights can get so long
                      F         
Lord, I think it's a- bout time, 
                        Bb   Eb Bb
this country star went home

                          F        
Yes, I think that it's a- bout 
                             Bb 
time, this country boy went back 
  Ab Eb Bb
home -----
