CSometimes I don't recognize
sometimes I don't recognize
Fthe house I live in, or the
Gstreet that my house is on
CSometimes I don't recognize
sometimes I don't recognize
Fthe patterns on my shirt or
Gthe way my shoes are tied
FWe know the Gway things go down
Cwe know a Amlot of people
FFor people Gin a small town
Cwe know a Amlot of people
FWe know the Gway things go Cdown
CSometimes I don't recognize,
that leads me to be surprised
Fon my way home I'm walkin'
Ghome for the first time
CSometimes I don't sympathize
with all the sick and the tired,
Fwhat's in it: being a bum?
GWhat's in it: being admired?
FSome street go Gup, some go down
Cand it's just Amtoo much trouble
FWe know the Gsmells and the sounds
Cwe know a Amlot of people
FWe know the Gway things go Cdown
Well, I can Ffight like the devil
or Gdo what I'm told,
but one of Cthese days, momma,
I've Amgot to hit the road
Fon my way Ghome
CSometimes I don't recognize
sometimes I don't recognize
Fthe house I live in, or the
Gstreet that my house is on
CSometimes I don't recognize,
that leads me to be surprised
Fon my way home I'm walkin'
Ghome for the first time
FSome street go Gup, some go down
Cand it's just Amtoo much trouble
FFor people Gin a small town
Cwe pass a Amlot of people
FWe know the Gway things go Cdown
Well, I can Ffight like the devil

but one of Cthese days, momma,
I've Amgot to hit the road
Fon my way Ghome
CI'm comin home
I'm walkin home, uh huh
