D I was pourin' coffee for A table number one
I Bm couldn't help but A hear him G what was going on
D It got my attention when I A heard a young man's voice
Saying Bm sheriff I'll be A going now if its G alright with you boys
Those A years I spent in prison stole Bm to much time from me
I won't G waste another D/F# minute Em if I'm really A free
--Chorus--
I'm goin' G home my family's waitin' for me Goin' D home
I'm amazed that they still love me
They for Bm give me for the A bitter seeds I've G sown A
Bm Heaven knows I've A been away to G long
So A now I'm going D home.... G A
D A burger and a special for A table number eight
I was Bm bustin' number A seven when I G heard her young heart break
D He told her it was over they could A never meet again
That he Bm found a taste of A courage twisted G on his wedding band
Her A tears began to fall but they Bm could not touch his heart
I G heard him say "I'm D/F# sorry But it was Em all wrong from the A start"
--Chorus--
I'm goin' G home my family's waitin' for me Goin' D home
I'm amazed that they still love me
They for Bm give me for the A bitter seeds I've G sown A
Bm Heaven knows I've A been away to G long
So A now I'm going D home....
There's a A million other stories from the Bm Halfway Home Cafe
It's a A never ending saga and they're Bm played out every A day
But D this one's finally over the A foods all put away
And the Bm coffee pot stands A empty at the G Halfway Home Cafe
But D over in the corner at A table number three
Sits a Bm father and a A runaway well it G looks that way to me
I said " A I hate to interrupt you but its Bm really gettin' late"
The G young girl looked up D/F# smilin she said " Em Mister that's A ok"
--Chorus--
I'm goin' G home my family's waitin' for me Goin' D home
I'm amazed that they still love me
They for Bm give me for the A bitter seeds I've G sown A
Bm Heaven knows I've A been away to G long
So A now I'm going G home....
A Hhmmm... I'm goin' D home
