[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C I’m missing home again
G But all my city friends
Gm G CTurned folks that I would never want to lose
C You see it’s a mystery
G To why my misery
GmWon’t leave me be
G CI’m pleading, just a minute or two
[Verse 2]
C Alone in unknown grounds
G In some unholy town
Gm G CBut my pride won’t let me leave to show them I could
C I lost a love for real
G But I wrote my name in ink
Gm G CSo I couldn’t Do a thing if I wanted to And they all say
[Chorus]
N.C. Gm
That’s the boy who left
CI know I’ll see him again
GCause when the big old city beats him out
Che’ll come crawling back
GmMama understand
CThat I know I can't
GI could Go back home
CThere's nowhere I'd rather be instead
[Interlude]
C Gm (x3)
C
[Verse 3]
C I’m on the road again
G Some Oklahoma inn
Gm G CWith dirty clothes and a honey to my name
C One day a crowd filled room
G The next some dirt cheap food
Gm G CBut I thank the Lord he's kept me on my way
[Verse 4]
C Some days are strange to me
G I sit with myself and think
Gm G CIf I wanted I could play a normal tune
C I'm tired of crying to sleep
G But my father's voice it rings
Gm G CDon't stop until you've showed them that you could
CThey all say, huh, they all say
[Chorus]
N.C. Gm
That’s the boy who left
CI know I’ll see him again
GCause when the big old city beats him out
Che’ll come crawling back
GmMama understand
CThat I know I can't
GI could Go back home
CThere's nowhere I'd rather be instead
[Outro]
C Gm
C Gm
CBe instead
Gm CMamma I’ll be there instead
GmI’m the man who lived
CBut when they see me again
G CI’m coming back boy with wild stories of a distant land
GmI’ll hold my mamma's hand
CAnd give her heart some rest
GBecause the boy is home
C GmShe knows there's nowhere he will be instead
CBe instead
Gm C Gm C Gm CHe will be instead
