B7                                                       E
theres nothing out here but blowing dust as far as i can see
E                                      A
i got strapped on my back everything i own
      E                          B7                   E
but i know everything will be alright when i get back home

[Verse 2]
E                                             B7
the cars keep passing me by but i really dont care
B7                                                             E

E                                      A

      E               B7                    E
but i know it'll be alright when i get back home

[Chorus]
B7                                   E

[Verse 3]
E                                     B7
sure got dark and i think i saw some lightning in that cloud
B7                                             E
i just heard heel of thunder, boy it sure was loud
             E                              A
this is the hardest kind of walk i've ever known
       E              B7                     E
but i know it'll be alright when i get back home

[Chorus]
B7                                  E

             A                             B7

[Verse 4]
E                                              B7
the rain keeps a coming down in sheets and my clothes are soaking wet
B7                                              E
the run offs getting deeper but i aint drowning yet
E                                      A
the poor rain really chills me to the bone
       E               B7                   E
but i know it'll be alright when i get back home
        B7                                    E
yeah i know it'll be alright when i get back home
