Verse 1:
D5                  C5
Papa's hitting the road again
          Bb5         C5           A5
Takes the show cross-country for hire
        D5
And the crowds come and go
       F5
Secret agents getting bigger
C5
Mom's holding sister in the chair
                 Bb5
Turning pages of photographs

Warm in their memories
                      D5
Falling asleep by the fire

Verse 2:

To the highway where some new cowboys go

Drivers and drifters and rouges

And the crew's still working

Everybody's cracking jokes

Morning comes so easy

Sharing stories and forgetting time

Take the rest in the look in her eyes

As they go and close time

Chorus:
D5                     C5
Papa's driving past the night
     D5                        C5
He's working his way to make it home
    D5                 C5
The old man gonna be outside
                 D5                    C5
When the morning come, when the morning comes

Verse 3:
To the highway where some old cowboys go
Drivers and drifters and rouges
Some drink here, some dance here
Hear old big boy telling jokes
Mom's holding sister in the chair
Sharing stories and forgetting time
Warm in their memories of
Falling asleep by the fire

Chorus/Bridge:
Papa's he driving past the night
He's working his way to make it home
The old man gonna be a sight
When the morning come, when the morning comes
Papa's coming home
Papa's coming home

Papa coming home...
