E A
My baby?s at home with her radio on
B E
A hot meal and a tall stiff drink
A
I think I?ll sing her a lullaby
B E
And I?ll watch her fall fast asleep
A
One day she walked by me and lightning was striking
B E
And the clouds they were burning black
A
She swept back her hair and the clouds they did stare
B E
As the sunshine pushed it?s way back?
(chorus)
E A B E
And there?s only one place I wanna be when the day is done
A
Well that?s lying half stoned outta my mind
B E
Wrapped up in your love.
E A
I spent some time on a California line
B E
I was shipping parts back east
A
And the day soon came they released me from my chains
B E
I had all the money that I?d need
A
And them greyhounds ran slow and the hours ran long
B E
Awe but I was finally on my way
A
I stepped through the doorway and that big house was empty
B E
And there ain?t no words to explain?
(repeat chorus)
E A
Well, someday I?ll die from the pains in my life
B E
And I?m sent where there?s pain no more
A
All I can say is there?d better be a way
B E
For me to hold close the one that I adore
A B E
Heaven?s a place no one wants to face before the time is through
A B E
And if ever a realm existed in hell, It would be me without you?
(repeat chorus)
