** Capo on 2nd fret - All chords are in relation to the capo ** 
 
Intro: D5   D5 
 
D5                        A5 
I was pourin' coffee for table number one 
  B5                A5        G5 
I couldn't help but hear him what was going on 
D5                          A5 
It got my attention when I heard a young man's voice 
       B5              A5                G5 
Saying sheriff I'll be going now if its alright with you boys 
      A5                             B5 
Those years I spent in prison stole to much time from me 
        G5             D5   E5            A5 
I won't waste another minute if I'm really free 
 
--Chorus-- 
          G5                                     D5 
I'm goin' home my family's waitin' for me Goin' home 
 
I'm amazed that they still love me 
        B5              A5                 G5      A5 
They forgive me for the bitter seeds I've sown 
B5                A5            G5 
Heaven knows I've been away to long 
   A5             D5       G5     A5 
So now I'm going home.... 
D5                          A5 
A burger and a special for table number eight 
      B5             A5            G5 
I was bustin' number seven when I heard her young heart break 
D5                                  A5 
He told her it was over they could never meet again 
        B5               A5               G5 
That he found a taste of courage twisted on his wedding band 
    A5                            B5 
Her tears began to fall but they could not touch his heart 
  G5                  D5             E5                 A5 
I heard him say "I'm sorry But it was all wrong from the start" 
 
--Chorus-- 
          G5                                     D5 
I'm goin' home my family's waitin' for me Goin' home 
 
I'm amazed that they still love me 
        B5              A5                 G5      A5 
They forgive me for the bitter seeds I've sown 
B5                A5            G5 
Heaven knows I've been away to long 
   A5             D5 
So now I'm going home.... 
          A5                              B5 
There's a million other stories from the Halfway Home Cafe 
       A5                             B5               A5 
It's a never ending saga and they're played out every day 
    D5                           A5 
But this one's finally over the foods all put away 
        B5                A5            G5   
And the coffee pot stands empty at the Halfway Home Cafe 
 

    D5                     A5 
But over in the corner at table number three 
       B5           A5               G5 
Sits a father and a runaway well it looks that way to me 
        A5                               B5 
I said "I hate to interrupt you but its really gettin' late" 
    G5                    D5             E5            A5 
The young girl looked up smilin she said "Mister that's ok" 
 
--Chorus-- 
          G5                                     D5 
I'm goin' home my family's waitin' for me Goin' home 
 
I'm amazed that they still love me 
        B5              A5                 G5      A5 
They forgive me for the bitter seeds I've sown 
B5                A5            G5 
Heaven knows I've been away to long 
   A5             G5 
So now I'm going home.... 
A5                  D5 
Hhmmm... I'm goin' home
