Intro: D D

D A

I was pourin' coffee for table number one

Bm A G

I couldn't help but hear 'in what was going on

D A

It got my attention when I heard a young man's voice

Bm A G

Saying sheriff I'll be going now if its alright with you boys

A Bm

Those years I spent in prison stole to much time from me

G D/F# Em A

I won't waste another minute if I'm really free

--Chorus--

G D

I'm goin' home my family's waitin' for me I'm Goin' home

I'm amazed that they still love me

Bm A G A

They forgive me for the bitter seeds I've sown

Bm A G

Heaven knows I've been away to long

A D G A

So now I'm going home....

D A

A burger and a special for table number eight

Bm A G

I was bussin' number seven when I heard her young heart break

D A

He told her it was over they could never meet again

Bm A G

That he found a taste of courage twisted on his wedding band

A Bm

Her tears began to fall but they could not touch his heart

G D/F# Em A

I heard him say "I'm sorry But it was all wrong from the start"

--Chorus--

G D

I'm goin' home my family's waitin' for me I'm Goin' home

I'm amazed that they still love me

Bm A G A

They forgive me for the bitter seeds I've sown

Heaven knows I've been away to long

A D

So now I'm going home....

A Bm

There's a million other stories from the Halfway Home Cafe

A G A

It's a never ending saga and they're played out every day

D A

But this one's finally over the foods all put away

Bm A G

And the coffee pot stands empty at the Halfway Home Cafe

D A

But over in the corner at table number three

Bm A G

Sits a father and a runaway well it looks that way to me

A Bm

I said "I hate to interrupt you but its really gettin' late"

G D/F# Em A

The young girl looked up smilin she said "Mister that's ok"

--Chorus--

G D

I'm goin' home my family's waitin' for me I'm Goin' home

I'm amazed that they still love me

Bm A G A

They forgive me for the bitter seeds I've sown

Bm A G

Heaven knows I've been away to long

A G

So now I'm going home....

A D

Hhmmm... I'm goin' home
