I have seen all I care to see
        Em               D        G
Of this world; it has no more for me
           G       C       G
I need the calm forgiving peace
           Em           Am7  G
That only comes from my family

           Em   C    G
I wanna go ho - o - ome

I'm following the lead of the setting sun
             Em              Am7  G
And I'm going back … where I came from

                G             C       G
Like an old oak tree that no longer grows
               Em         Am7  G
This time went by, I got hol-low
                   G                                C      G
If you don't know when to stay,  If you don't know when to go
                  Em                Am7   G
Then you might be building your own gal - lows

I wanna go ho - o - ome

Momma's on the front porch waving for me

My father's got his hands fixing something
C                     D                        G     C G
My brother says that he's just glad to see my face
