A5 
One in a million is a lonely town   two hundred people  
                                    D5 
trying to keep me down   I've taken all I can  
               A5 
I aint lookin' back      small town boy in a back yard lot  
 
I can't make a livin' with the luck I've got  
          D5                           A5 
I'm gonna leave it all I aint lookin' back 
 
 
                         F#5     D5   A5 
FIRST CHORUS: That's the way     I remember      
          F#5    D5          E5 
seemed to me     when I was young     
          A5                                       D5  
but I can still see the leaves slowly fall to the ground  
        A5                                     D5 
and the snow on the trees as the winter comes down   
F#5        B5   A5 D5          A5  
still I go home a-gain in my heart 
 
 
A5 
My father worked hard on the railroad tracks     
                                           D5 
37 years cut across his back    he gave it all he had  
            A5 
for what he believed      like every other kid that came  
 
before      I grew up believing there was something more  
      D5                       A5 
and I still believe I still believe 
 
 
                        F#5    D5     A5 
LAST CHORUS: That's the way      I remember   
             F#5   D5            E5 
it seemed to me      when I was young    
A5                                                  D5 
but I can still see the lightning on a warm summer night  
        A5                                  D5 
and the rain on the window when I close my eyes  
      F#5                             B5 
I can still hear us laughing  on the front porch  
          E5                 A5  
in the dark       there are days when I know  
                      D5               A5 
that I've traveled so far   that I'll never find the road  
                    D5           F#5        B5   A5 D5 
leading back to the start       still I go home a-gain  
      A5          F#5        B5   A5 D5           A5 
in my heart      still I go home a-gain  in my heart   
 
in my heart          in my heart
