Key: E minor
Intro x4: (down then up)
Many times I've been out on the cold lonely road
My heart full of sorrow and pain
And I sing an old familiar song of the place that I belong
When my mind starts to think of home again
Chorus:
So many miles and so many roads
And people who don't even know my name
So many times I've looked to western skies
Nowhere I go is quite the same
As that sweet home waiting for me
(intro riff x4)
At the end of the day
Now my feet grow tired and the wind, it grows wild
And the road never seems to end
And my mind, it races on from the sunlight, she is gone
Thoughts of old start to fill my head
[ Chorus ]
And it's too much confusion, too many lies
Too many times my heart has been broken right in two
I've shed too many tears thinkin' about those times
Cried too many rivers over you
Intro Riff x4
Now the light up ahead it means that I am near
You can smell the wood smoke in the air
And when I go back out again and I long to return to
My old home, I know she'll be there
[ Chorus ]
