[Verse]
Cadd9 D GI picked up that ringing phone, mom said we needed to talk
Cadd9 D GYour dad and I decided something tonight, out on our walk
Cadd9 D GWe’re giving up these years on gravel for a better life of lake and travel
Cadd9 D GFelt my life start to ravel I was sad and mad, and a little shocked
[Chorus]
Cadd9And I said, but who’s gonna hunt my deer?
DAnd who’ll stare up at that clear?
G Cadd9Blue sky above that old stand, overlooking the field where I became a man
D Cadd9Who’s gonna live in that house that we called home for years?
D G D Cadd9 D GAnd she said honey you can always come home, but you can’t stay here
[Verse]
Cadd9 D GA month or later on the same damn phone, this time it's a text
Cadd9 D GThe guys were all were talking, and they were just a bunch of wrecks
Cadd9 D GI guess this fall Sarge is closing down, it’s the only bar in this old town
Cadd9 D GNow what in the hell, are we supposed to Do next?
[Chorus]
Cadd9And I said, but who’s gonna drink our beer?
DAnd who’s gonna hear us cheer?
GPushing pennies in that bathroom trough
Cadd9With them Midwest deer all over the wall
D Cadd9Who’ll be the fool on the stools our dads sat on for years?
D EmWell buddy you can always come home, but you can’t stay here.
[Verse]
AmWhen I moved away and spread my wings
CThought I could count on those two things
Am DSeems like everything now, she is-a changing
AmBut they say that change is a constant trend
CAnd all good things, that they must end
AmI stopped and thought about those words
DFrom my old friend, and he said
[Chorus]
Cadd9You can still hunt your deer
DAnd we can still drink our beer
G Cadd9Home is where you make it, not just a place to lay your head
D Cadd9You’ll be right here on our minds whether far or near
DCause man you can always come, if you can’t stay here
