[B]
[F#]
[G#m]
[E]
[G#m] [B] Up on Main Street, [F#] they build a highway, [G#m] change its name to Johnson [E]
Boulevard.
Up [B] on Thursday, [F#] down on Friday, [G#m] people ask me why I think [E] so hard.
[B] Time's been hollow from [F#] Laredo to [G#m] San Jacinto and it's a long [F#] way back
[B] home.
[A#m] [F#]
[B] There's an old chain [F#] in a stockyard [B] that's [G#m] like a graveyard for things have come and gone.
[E] [F#] [B] And the windmill [F#] on a gravestone [B] where [G#m]
the name's gone and [E] everybody know.
[B] Time's been hollow [F#] from Laredo to [G#] [G#m] San Jacinto and it's a long way [F#] back
[B] home.
[A#] [G#m]
[E] Sometimes [B] you're standing still [G#m] and the wind just beats you [B]
down.
Oh [G#m] and sometimes [D#m] it's just so hard [C#] to keep your two feet right there on [E] the ground.
[F#]
[B] Mother's faith goes [F#] to church still.
[G#m] Prayers on Sundays, [E]
Mondays too.
[B] Father's somewhere in [F#] the [B] backfield thinking [G#m]
out loud that this ain't nothing new.
[B] Time's been hollow [F#] from Laredo [B] to [G#m] San Jacinto.
So why don't we just go [F#] back [G#m]
home?
Why don't we just [F#] go back [E]
home?
