[Verse 1]
G C G
Crack of dawn I hit the road, set my shoulders for the heavy load
C G C G
Coffee leaking through the paper sack
G C G
The foreman says I'm late again, he can't stand it when I only grin
C G C G
He's got me eight hours, she's got me after that
D D
I can't wait 'til it's quittin' time, she got something cookin' for me tonight.
[Chorus]
G C D
She keeps the homefires burning
Am7 G
While I'm out earning a living in a world
C D
That's known for its pouring rain
G C D
She keeps the homefires burning
Am7 D G C G
Ooh and it's her warm loving that keeps me returning again

[Verse 2]
G C G
Out of gas, just my luck, four bald tires on my pickup truck
C G C G
No more credit on my credit card
G
When I come home and hit that door I remember what these aching arms are for
C G C G
She's my one light when the world goes dark
D D
Tomorrow it's the same old grind, but she'll be burning in my mind
[Chorus]

She keeps the homefires burning
