[verse 1]
D
Twenty one days out on the road
    F                   C       D
the van brokedown in a foot of snow
  D
we don't even know where the hell we are 
    F                      C           D
the battery's gone and the phone won't charge  
        C       D
I wanna let you know
                     C         D
I'm doin' my best to get back home

[verse 2]
 D
I ain't had no sleep I ain't washed my clothes 
    F                    C          D
but everybody says it's a damn good show
 D
pay enough and the crowd is good 
     F                     C        D
but sometimes I'D rather be chopping wood
           C         D
or rolling rocks up a hill
                               C        D
but it's the only way I know to pay the bills

[chorus]
    Bb
The songs I sang can't get through
C
my mind feels up with you
     F               Bb                 
And I drift off in a dream
              C 
about you and me

[verse 3]
    D
well I wake up to a wild ass crowd
  F               C        D
The guitar amp is way too loud
  D
well the drummer's been cheating on his wife
       F               C        D
and the bass man's too drunk to drive
              C       D
But that's the way it goes
 D                       C         D
i'm just doin' my best to get back home

[chorus]
 Bb
The songs I sang you can't get through
 C
my mind feels up with you
      F               Bb  
and I drift off in a dream 
              C 
about you and me

[Solo]

[verse 4]
 D
The manager called with five more shows
 F                           C       D
Let me talk to the kids then I gotta go
D
your mans gotta do what your mans gotta do 
    F                  C       D
to bring that money on home to you
         C      D
i wanna let you know 

[outro]
                        C        D
I'm just doin' my best to get back home
                        C        D
I'm just doin' my best to get back home
                        C        D
I'm just doin' my best to get back home
