[A#m] [B] [F#] [C#]
[A#m] [B] [F#] Oh, all [C#]
right.
[A#m] [B] [F#] Growing [C#]
[F#] up, it was tough.
We were glad for what little we had.
[G#] I saw my share of [G#m] old fair Mississippi dirt
roads and Confederate [G] flags.
Every day, my father [N] would tell me, [F#] son, run and don't
never come back.
[G#] That's where I left my girl.
That's where my heart is.
And [F#] I held my breath when they get [C#] my head.
Then I came up shiny and laid [C#m] down.
I found out about love in the back of my [B] Impala where they
laid [G#m] my grandfather to [Bm] the river.
[F#] Yeah, the Sunday services to [G#] how the river runs to the [B] ocean.
I'll be [C#] running right back to [F#] you.
I got a home.
I'm moving [C#] on.
I've been to scars of where [C#m] I think [F#] of her.
They're sitting.
I [G#m] wait for a car or a letter in the mail.
[Bm] I walk the beach with the sand in my [F#] feet.
Place my ear up to Michelle.
[C#] I wonder [G#] if you miss me too, [C#] because I've been [G#m] longing to
[C#] get to [F#] you.
I'm sick of staring out my window.
See [C#] you.
I'm tired of hoping she remembers me [C#m] still.
I'm packing my bags.
I said, [F#] I'm going back [G#m] home to the place where I belong.
[G] [D] [F#] I'm never gonna leave her [C#] again.
You [G#] see, she stole [G#m] my heart.
I'm down [C#] by the [F#] river.
I held my breath when they get my [C#] head.
Shiny and [C#m] found out about love in the back of my [B] Apollo.
[Bm] We're black [F#] folks.
Yeah, the other Sunday services [G#] to how the river runs to the ocean.
[D#] I'll be [C#] running right back to [F#] you.
[D#m] So I'm packing up [C#] my suitcase.
[E] But me one way.
I'm leaving everything behind me.
But in my heart, I [G#] always can.
[F#] Thank [G#]
you, baby.
Cuz nothing can replace that [B] part of my life.
[C#]
