Capo 2
[Verse]
Different day, different Gtown, set it up to tear it down
Oh, I Cain't been home in almost fifty Gdays
Houston Baton Rouge, poor girl's gotta pay her dues
And the Cspeeder bus is always driving a- Gway
Oh, I Dlove what I do, but I wonder what I do it all Gfor
[Chorus]
But when I Csing, they sing a- Glong
I for- Dget where I am, but I Cknow where I belongG  
The reason Cwhy I'm standing Emhere
It's not the Cmiles, it's not the G/Bpay, it's not the Cshow
It's not the G/Bfame that makes this Amhome, it's the songG  
[Verse]
Her Gbirthday was in Alabama, father's day was in Montana
And on CMother's day I was nowhere near the Gphone
Every hotel bed feels the same as the last one where I stayed
And it's Cbending in my sheet and falling asleep aloneG  
Yeah, I Dlove what I do, but I wonder what I do it all Gfor
[Chorus]
But when I Csing, they sing a- Glong
I for- Dget where I am, but I Cknow where I belongG  
The reason Cwhy I'm standing Emhere
It's not the Cmiles, it's not the G/Bpay, it's not the Cshow
It's not the G/Bfame that makes this Amhome, it's the songC  
[Bridge]
Dolly and Lo Bmretta, maybe some AmPatsy Cline, I'm so Dlonesome I could cry
[Chorus]
But when I C/Gsing, they sing a- Glong
I for- Dget where I am, but I C/Eknow where D/F#I belongG  
The reason Cwhy I'm Dstanding Emhere
It's not the Cride, it's not the G/Bname, it's not just Cstaying in the gameG/B  
It's not the Cmiles, it's not the G/Bpay, it's not the Cshow
It's not the G/Bfame that makes this Amhome, it's the songG
