Cant Get Home

Am                      G7      C
I know better than to cuss in my mama's house
Am                              G
So more than not I just shut my mouth
Am                              C
She hasn't lived here in a year or more
Am                                      G7      C
But I still stand a little straighter when I walk in the door

Am                                      G7      C
There's a fresh coat of paint on the kitchen wall
Am                              G
How it looked before I scare recall
Am                              G7      C
Somewhere beneath there's a pencil line
Am                              G7      C
Shows how tall I stood the day I turned nine

[Chorus]
Am                        G7    C
I can't unsee what I've been shown
Am                              G
My body's been and my mind is lone
Continúa después del anuncio
Am                              G7      C
And I never was ready for the things I know
Am                              G7      C
I can find the house, but I can't get home


Am                       G7     C
I did my first tour in '94
Am                                      G
I was following the dead, I didn't fight no war
Am                              G7      C
And everywhere I went all the locals stared
Am                              G7      C
And it felt good feeling like a stranger there

Am                        G7    C
I can't unsee what I've been shown
Am                              G
My body's been and my mind is lone
Am                              G7      C
And I never was ready for the things I know
Am                              G7      C
I can find the house, but I can't get home


Am                              G7      C
Dogwood's blooming like they always did
Am                                      G
And the roof still leaks on the garden shed
Am                                         G7            C
And the sign in the yard says it's all been sold
Am                      G7      C
But I gave it away a long time ago

Am                        G7    C
I can't unsee what I've been shown
Am                              G
My body's been and my mind is lone
Am                              G7      C
And I never was ready for the things I know
Am                              G7      C
I can find the house, but I can't get home
Am                              G7      C
I can walk in the door, but I can't get home
Am                              G7      C
I can sleep in the bed, but I can't get home
