G (320003@1) DLast (xx0232@1)night I dreamed that I was a child
AOut (x02220@1)where the pines grow wild and tall
D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) DI (xx0232@1)was trying to make it home through the forest
A (x02220@1) DBefore (xx0232@1)the darkness falls
G (320003@1) DI (xx0232@1)heard the wind rustling through the trees
AAnd (x02220@1)ghostly voices rose from the fields
D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) DI (xx0232@1)ran with my heart pounding down that broken path
A (x02220@1) DWith (xx0232@1)the devil snappin' at my heels
G (320003@1) DI (xx0232@1)broke through the trees, and there in the night
AMy (x02220@1)father's house stood shining hard and bright
D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) DThe (xx0232@1)branches and brambles tore my clothes and scratched my arms
A (x02220@1) DBut (xx0232@1)I ran till I fell, shaking in his arms

G (320003@1) DI (xx0232@1)awoke and I imagined the hard things that pulled us apart
AWill (x02220@1)never again, sir, tear us from each other's hearts
D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) DI (xx0232@1)got dressed, and to that house I did ride
A (x02220@1) DFrom (xx0232@1)out on the road, I could see its windows shining in light
G (320003@1) DI (xx0232@1)walked up the steps and stood on the porch
AA (x02220@1)woman I didn't recognize came and spoke to me through a chained door
D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) DI (xx0232@1)told her my story, and who I'd come for
A (x02220@1) DShe (xx0232@1)said "I'm sorry, son, but no one by that name lives here anymore"

G (320003@1) DMy (xx0232@1)father's house shines hard and bright
AIt (x02220@1)stands like a beacon calling me in the night
D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) DCalling (xx0232@1)and calling, so cold and alone
A (x02220@1) DShining (xx0232@1)`cross this dark highway where our sins lie unatoned
