Just the way I‰ve always I been - Tom T. Hall

Homegrown

G

I took your picture from the [D] table

And now I finally [G] alone

I took your number from my [D] Rolodex

I might get weak and call your [G] phone

I got my [G7] chainsaw from your [C] brother

And I did all of this and [G] then

There ain‰t nothing new a [D] bout me

I‰m just the [D7] way I‰ve always [G] bin

 

Stopped at Harry‰s for a cold beer

And Danny won the football pool

Joe Garcetti is back to drinkin‰

They caught his kid with drugs at school

And everybody has their problems

Now you‰re gone and mine begin

Well, there ain‰t nothing new about me

I‰m just the way I‰ve always bin

 

I‰m just the way I‰ve always [C] bin

I love you now, I loved you [G] then

Same old faults and same old [D] friends

I‰m just the way I‰ve always [G] bin

 

You uncle called about my pick-up

He‰d liked to use it for a day

I told him come ahead and get it

Cos I don‰t need it anyway

He doesn‰t no that you don‰t live here

I guess I‰ll have to tell our friends

Oh, there ain‰t nothing new about me

I‰m just the way I‰ve always bin

 

I‰m just the way I‰ve always bin

I love you now, I loved you then

Same old faults and same old friends

I‰m just the way I‰ve always bin
