Lyrics

[Intro]
| E | - | - | - |

[Verse 1]
               E           E7
There's a storm across the valley,
A
clouds are rolling in
    B7                              E
The afternoon is heavy on your shoulders
          E                    E7       A
There's a truck out on the four  lane a mile or more away
        B7                                  E
And the whining of his wheels just makes it colder

[Verse 2]
        E              E7                    A
He's an hour away from riding on your prayers up in the sky
    B7                              E
And ten days on the road are barely gone
                      E7
There's a fire softly burning,
A
supper's on the stove
              B7                                E E7/F# E7/G#
It's the light  in your eyes that makes him warm

[Chorus]
A                 B7            E
Hey, it's good to be back home again
E7/F# E7/G#
A          B7                 E       E7/F# E7/G# A
 Sometimes this old farm feels like a long  lost  friend
         B7
Yes, and hey,
                               E
it's good to be back home again

[Verse 3]
        E               E7
There's all the news to tell him,
A
how'd you spend your time
B7                                         E
  What's the latest thing the neighbors say
                               E7
And your mother called last Friday,
A
sunshine made her cry
         B7                       E  E7/F# E7/G#
You felt the baby move just yesterday

[Chorus]
A                 B7            E
Hey, it's good to be back home again,
         E7/F# E7/G#
yesterday
A          B7                 E       E7/F# E7/G# A
 Sometimes this old farm feels like a long  lost  friend
         B7
Yes, and hey,
                               E
it's good to be back home again

[Bridge]
E7/F# E7/G#    A                 B7
           And all the time that I can lay this tired,
E   E7/F#  E7/G#    A
 old     body   down
   F#m              B7              E
To feel your fingers  feather soft upon me
E7 E7/F# E7/G#    A             B7
              The kisses that I live for,
    E         E7/F#  E7/G#   A
the love that lights my   way
    F#m            A               B7
The happiness that living with you brings me

[Verse 4]
         E                    E7
It's the sweetest thing I know  of,
A
just spending time with you
         B7                                E
It's the little things that make a house a home
                  E7
Like a fire softly  burning,
A
supper's on the stove
    B7                               E   E7/F# E7/G#
The light in your eyes that makes me warm

[Chorus]
A                 B7            E
Hey, it's good to be back home again
E7/F# E7/G#
A          B7                 E       E7/F# E7/G# A
 Sometimes this old farm feels like a long  lost  friend
         B7
Yes, and hey,
                               E
it's good to be back home again
E7/F# E7/G# A                 B7            E
            Hey, it's good to be back home again,
        E7/F# E7/G#
oh it is
A          B7                 E       E7/F# E7/G# A
 Sometimes this old farm feels like a long  lost  friend
B7                                  E
Hey, it's good to be back home again

[Outro]
       B7
I said hey,
                               A E
it's good to be back home again
