[E] Well, I'm [Am] going back going home again,
Well, I'm going back to my own again.
I'm going back to [A] my hometown,
The one that put me out, the one that let me down.
[Am] [G] [Am]
[A] Well, I wired up a car in East [Am] Fontana,
I was headed for San Berdue.
[A] All the midnight [Am] oil, it was on the boil,
And the boys were barreling through.
Then I took a turn, but I hit the curb,
And spun off the [A] center lane.
When I heard the [Am] crash, it was a stomp to gas,
And I was barreling [A] on again.
[C] I leave a few [Dm] people dead, but I got open road [Am] ahead.
I [C] leave a few people dead, but I got open road ahead.
[Am]
[A]
[C] [Am]
I remember the cop with his slicked back hair,
When he told me to get out of here.
[A] [Am] And [A] I remember the judge with his gold-plated mouth,
He said, go live in the north, you're going to die down [Am] south,
You're going to die down south.
Yeah, but I'm going [E] back going home [A] again,
[D] Well, I'm [Am] going back to my own again.
I'm going back to my hometown,
The one that put me out, the one that let me down.
[G] [Am]
I went [A] flying through South San Berdue,
With my mind on East LA.
[Am] Well, my patrick old queen, she's cooking refried beans,
Ain't you waiting for me today?
Yeah, I stopped on off a liquor store,
I made everybody lay down on the floor.
I took all the whiskey, I took their bread,
And I shot out the light before I fled.
I [C] leave a few people dead, [A] but I got open road ahead.
I leave [C] a few people dead, [D] but I got open road [Am] ahead.
[A] [Am]
[A] [Am]
And I remember the bitch whose black tongue lied,
When she told me she's just a sight as fire.
And I remember her daddy, as big as a truck,
He said, fuck with me, boy, if you want to fuck.
Yeah, fuck with me, boy, if you want to fuck.
Yeah, but [A] I'm going back going [Am] home again,
I'm going back to my own [A] again.
I'm going back there to my [Am] hometown,
[A] The one that put me out, the one that let me down.
[G] [Am] [E]
[Am]
[A]
Yeah, so there ought to [D] be a law,
[A] Against sunny Southern California.
[F#m]
[Am] [E] There ought to be [D] a law,
Against putting the devil behind [A] the wheel.
[E] Yeah, cause as long as you people are going to sanction such an evil,
[D#] Well, [D] I'm going to turn your asphalt back into brimstone,
And you goddamn bet I [A] will.
[Em] [F#] [F]
[A]
[G#] [N]
