[Intro]
G C G G
Third night this Gweek, I'm playin' this old Bmbar again
A young newly wed Ccouple showed up, spotted the as Dsoon as they walked in
They looked so Gin love, young man looked Bmup at me
He threw me a five, Casked if he could buy Dme a drink
[Pre-Chorus]     
He said I wiCsh I could sing and plDay guitar, man yoGu've goD/F#t it madeEm  
He said, be- Cfore we go and toast to that, there's Dsomething I've gotta say
[Chorus]
I'd give it all, CI'd give it backG  
I'd make a call, Cwouldn't take me long to Dpack
And I'd give it up, CI'd give it inG  
If only I Ccould see Emher againD  
It just Ctook this long to see Dthat this ain?ft Gwhere I Dneed to beEm  
I've had too much fun, CI'm headed Dnorth on 21
[Solo]
G C G G
I made a lot of good Gfriends, but lost them just as Bmfast
You can't see the real Cworld through the bottom of a Dglass
Aint even got a Gdog, 'cause I'm always on the Bmroad
Don't even call home, Caint been a letter wroteD  
[Pre-Chorus]  
But if I Ccould see the brDight lights of Mont- goGmery, AlD/F#abamaEm  
CTake this long road back up home, and Dnever take it down
[Chorus]
I'd give it all, CI'd give it backG  
I'd make a call, Cwouldn't take me long to Dpack
And I'd give it up, CI'd give it inG  
If only I Ccould see Emher againD  
It just Ctook this long to see Dthat this ain?ft Gwhere I Dneed to beEm  
I've had too much fun, CI'm headed Dnorth on 21G  
It just Ctook this long to see Dthat this Gbottles Ddrowning meEm  
I've had too much fun, CI'm headed Dnorth on 21
