Verse 1: 
        D5 
      I remember waking in the morning 
                                        A5 
      To the sound of the rooster's crow 
     
      Mamma cooking in the kitchen 
                                 D5

        D5  
      Me and Dad were just like strangers 
                                A5 
      We never did see eye to eye

      A train won't run on a torn up track 
                                     G5  D5     E5 
      Sometimes i wish i'd never roamed,oh no 
      A5                                                  D5

      Then i met a girl in Knoxville 
                               A5 
      Oh,we set our wedding day 
 
      I left her standing at the alter 
                            D5  
      With a baby on the way

              G5               A5                B5   
      And what i'd give to hold that boy of mine 
             G5               A5                  D5 
      I'd get down on my knees and i say i'm sorry 
          E5                               A5                       
      If i could only go back one more time

      But i killed a man in Houston 
                                    A5 
      When he caught me with his wife 
                
      And i told the preacher man to leave me alone 
                                 D5 
      When he came to read my rights

      He said son,when you leave this way you can never come back 
      A5                                  D5       
      A soul won't roll on a torn up track 
                                     G5   D5 E5 
      All through eternity you'll roam alone 
      A5                                                    D5  
      'cause when you leave this way you can never come home 
 

                                     G5   D5 E5    
      All through eternity you'll roam alone 
      A5                                                    B5   
      'cause when you leave this way you can never come home
