2, 3, [C] 4
[G] [Am]
[G]
[C] Well I came back home [G] today for the first time since I run [Am] away
And I thought things would always stay the [D] same, but [G] they didn't
[C] And I took off to the faraway [G] sands to fight new battles in a different [Am] land
Well I guess coming back really took [G] me by surprise
Well [C] I stopped for gas on my way to the [G] bank
Seen a young man freezing, he was filling [Am] tanks
And I realized that sad boy was [G] my best friend
[C] He said, life's gone different from eating for [G] you
As he stood there pumping diesel [Am] fuel, our eyes met, he coughed
And [G] then he went inside
[C] Well I remember sitting up all [G] night long
Drinking warm beer, singing wailing [Am] songs
And dreaming about the day [G] that we would fly away
[C] Oh but I took off and he stayed [G] here
Now I wish I could [Am] disappear
Cause that long gone look in his eye [G] was just too damn much to bear
[C] Don't you know those words hit close [G] to home
Need to find something to light my [Am] load
And he's there taking pain [G] that's in my head
[C] I hit the relief aisle at the [G] drugstore
To get some pain pills and furthermore
When [Am] I walked to the counter, man it [G] all happened again
[C] Cause that mean eyed girl from behind the [G] tail
She'd come from out back, she was getting her [Am] fill
And I remember thinking long ago
[G] That she'd be the love of my life
[C] But her eyes had gone dark, her dreams had gone [G] south
Through cigarette smoke coming from her [Am] mouth
She loved me once, I don't know if [G] she'll ever love me again
[C] Well I remember on a graduation [G] night
With her and me in my [Am] headlights
And we painted that old train bridge
[G] You and me forever
[C] But the words from that old bridge are [G] gone
Guess it goes to show nothing's written in [Am] stone
Like the innocence of youth, [G] it'll up and fade away
[C] And tonight the snow's coming [G] down hard as I haunt this town
And my old [A] car and I guess it's damn well time
[D] I'll [G] be up and moving on
[C] But I'll give it one last look, [Em] alright
And I'll be [G] gone by morning [Am] light
But tonight I got the diesel [G] fume and drug
[C] stores
