[Intro]

[Verse 1]

E E7 A

There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rolling in;

B7 E

the afternoon is heavy on your shoulders

E E7 A

There's a truck out on the four lane, a mile or more away;

B7 E

the whining of his wheels just makes it colder

[Verse 2]

E E7 A

He's an hour away from riding, on your prayers up in the sky;

B7 E

and ten days on the road are barely gone

E E7 A

There's a fire softly burning, supper's on the stove;

B7 E E7

but it's the light in your eyes that makes him warm

[Chorus]

A B7 E E7

Hey, it's good to be back home again

A B7 E A

Sometimes, this old farm, feels like a long lost friend,

B7 E E7

yes, and hey it's good to be back home again

[Verse 3]

E E7 A

There's all the news to tell him, how’d you spend your time;

B7 E E7

and what's the latest thing the neighbors say?

E E7 A

And your mother called last Friday, Sunshine made her cry;

B7 E E7

and you felt the baby move just yesterday

[Chorus]

A B7 E E7

Hey, it's good to be back home again (yes it is)

A B7 E A

Sometimes, this old farm, feels like a long lost friend,

B7 E E7

yes, and hey it's good to be back home again

[Bridge]

A B7 E A

And oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down

F#m B7 E E7

and feel your fingers feather soft upon me

A B7 E A

The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way

F#m A B7

the happiness that living with you brings me

[Verse 4]

E E7 A

It's the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you;

B7 E

it's the little things that make a house a home

E E7 A

Like a fire softly burning, and supper on the stove;

B7 E E7

and the light in your eyes that makes me warm

[Chorus]

A B7 E E7

Hey, it's good to be back home again

A B7 E A

Sometimes, this old farm, feels like a long lost friend,

B7 E E7

yes, and hey it's good to be back home again

[Chorus]

A B7 E E7

Hey, it's good to be back home again (you know it is)
