Capo 1st Fret
[Verse]
Well It's fiAve o'clock sharp in the afternoon
And i'm aEbout to start singin' my leAavin' tune
I'm hitting that door at a jail break speed
i've got a gEirl waitin' at home for me and I 
[Chorus]
CaAn't get homEe, I caAn't get hoDme, no I caAn't get hoEme fast enAough
[Verse]
I spend mEost of my day on the daily grind
If I cAome home late, she don't mind
I've got a fEull time job with a part time pay
But my biAlls stay paid anyway
I just caDn't seem to catch a break afAter a long day 
                                      B7  E-  F  
And i'm stuck here in a line ten miles long and I
[Chorus]
CaAn't get homEe, I caAn't get hoDme, no I caAn't get hoEme fast enAough
[Solo] 
E A E A D A E A
[Verse]              
Well it's the sEame old thing when i'm out of town
And I Aget to start to feelin' down 
I get wEound up tighter than a pair of jeans
That don't fAit no more and bust out them seams
And I gDet thoughts of breaking loose 
From being dArug along like an old caboose 
                                 B7  E-F  
But i'd be stuck on that line all alone and I 
[Chorus]
Well It's fAive o'clock sharp in the afternoon
And i'm aEbout to start singin' my leAavin' tune
I'm hitting that door at a jail break speed
i've got a gEirl waitin' at home for me and I 
[Outro]
I caAn't get hoEme, I cAan't get hoDme, no I cAan't get hEome fast eAnough. E  A

Capo 1st Fret

[Verse]

Well It's five o'clock sharp in the afternoon

E A

And i'm about to start singin' my leavin' tune

I'm hitting that door at a jail break speed

i've got a girl waitin' at home for me and I

[Chorus]

A E A D A E A

Can't get home, I can't get home, no I can't get home fast enough

[Verse]

I spend most of my day on the daily grind

If I come home late, she don't mind

I've got a full time job with a part time pay

But my bills stay paid anyway

D A

I just can't seem to catch a break after a long day

B7 E F

And i'm stuck here in a line ten miles long and I

[Chorus]

A E A D A E A

Can't get home, I can't get home, no I can't get home fast enough

[Solo]

E A E A D A E A

[Verse]

Well it's the same old thing when i'm out of town

And I get to start to feelin' down

I get wound up tighter than a pair of jeans

That don't fit no more and bust out them seams

And I get thoughts of breaking loose

From being drug along like an old caboose

B7 E F

But i'd be stuck on that line all alone and I

[Chorus]

Well It's five o'clock sharp in the afternoon

E A

And i'm about to start singin' my leavin' tune

I'm hitting that door at a jail break speed

i've got a girl waitin' at home for me and I

[Outro]

A E A D A E A E A

I can't get home, I can't get home, no I can't get home fast enough.
