GThe barroom crowd is thinning out it Cmust be getting Glate
But if I’m free tomorrow night I’ll meet you here by D7eight
It’s Ghard to kiss two lips goodbye that’s Csweeter than the Gwine
The Chardest part of Gall is going D7home to do my Gtime
From the Cminute I walk through the door I Gknow how it will be
I’ll Csit across the room and wish she’d Gstop starring at D7me
GWe both tried but it’s no good our Clove’s dead on the Gvine
Yet CI must pay for Gloving you by going D7home to do my Gtime
I’ve never found the happiness at Chome I find with Gyou
And if she were all that’s holding me I’d make my dreams come D7true
But Gyou know how much I love those Clittle kids of Gmine
They’re Call I’ve got to Gkeep me going D7home to do my Gtime
From the Cminute I walk through the door I Gknow how it will be
I’ll Csit across the room and wish she’d Gstop starring at D7me
GWe both tried but it’s no good our Clove’s dead on the Gvine
Yet CI must pay for Gloving you by going D7home to do my Gtime

But if I’m free tomorrow night I’ll meet you here by eight

It’s hard to kiss two lips goodbye that’s sweeter than the wine

C G D7 G

The hardest part of all is going home to do my time

C G

From the minute I walk through the door I know how it will be

I’ll sit across the room and wish she’d stop starring at me

G C G

We both tried but it’s no good our love’s dead on the vine

C G D7 G

Yet I must pay for loving you by going home to do my time

I’ve never found the happiness at home I find with you

And if she were all that’s holding me I’d make my dreams come true

But you know how much I love those little kids of mine

They’re all I’ve got to keep me going home to do my time
