(INTRO)
|G D |G Em |Em |G D |G Em |Em
(VERSE)
|G |D | Em
Driving through Tennessee land of truth and liberty
|G |D | Em
Volunteering for the fight living with a mighty bite
|G |D | Em
Nashville Chatanooga Georgia line I'm coming to ya
|G |D | Em
I make this drive every week to keep your table filled with bread
(INTERLUDE)
|G D |G Em |Em
Whoa ho ho ho ho whoa ho ho
|G D |G Em |Em
Whoa ho ho ho ho whoa ho ho whoa ho ho
(VERSE)
|G |D | Em
Opening the screen door no one's home I find a note
|G |D | Em
Something 'bout leaving town moving out and giving up
|G |D | Em
I walk around this lonely house kicking round my time and dust
|G |D | Em
Now If I be a lesser man I'd bring it to a sudden end
(CHORUS)
|G D |Em |Em
I'm not afraid to die but I am afraid to cry
|G D |Em |Em
I'm not afraid to die but I am afraid to cry
(BRIDGE)
|C |D | Em
She checked into a Motel 6 and got herself a room for four
|C |D | Em
Staring at the same hallways and staring at the same four walls
|C |D | Em
But now its time to head home, here I go
|C |D | Em
Now if you'll take me be back before he slams the door to go
(VERSE)
|G |D | Em
Standing on the front porch I see her coming down block
|G |D | Em
Standing on the front lawn I ask her why she's staying gone
|G |D | Em
She said she thought the staying gone was wrong she's sayin' I'm coming home
|G |D | Em
But are you going to be here when I really need you dear
(INTERLUDE)
|G D |G Em |Em
Whoa ho whoa whoa whoa-oh whoa
|G D |G Em |Em
Whoa ho whoa whoa whoa-oh whoa
(VERSE)
|G |D | Em
Now once again this lonely house will once again be our home
|G |D | Em
Nashville Chattanooga Georgia line I'm coming to ya
|G |D | Em
Opening the screen door I see her waiting on the floor
|G |D | Em
I don't care to wonder why but go outside and have a cry.
