Intro: D D

D A
I was pourin' coffee for table number one

Bm A G
I couldn't help but hear him what was going on

D A
It got my attention when I heard a young man's voice

Bm A G
Saying sheriff I'll be going now if its alright with you boys

A Bm
Those years I spent in prison stole to much time from me

G D/F# Em A
I won't waste another minute if I'm really free

--Chorus--
G D
I'm goin' home my family's waitin' for me Goin' home

I'm amazed that they still love me

Bm A G A
They forgive me for the bitter seeds I've sown

Bm A G
Heaven knows I've been away to long

A D G A
So now I'm going home....

D A
A burger and a special for table number eight

Bm A G
I was bustin' number seven when I heard her young heart break

D A
He told her it was over they could never meet again

Bm A G
That he found a taste of courage twisted on his wedding band

A Bm
Her tears began to fall but they could not touch his heart

G D/F# Em A
I heard him say "I'm sorry But it was all wrong from the start"

--Chorus--
G D
I'm goin' home my family's waitin' for me Goin' home

I'm amazed that they still love me

Bm A G A
They forgive me for the bitter seeds I've sown

So now I'm going home....

A Bm
There's a million other stories from the Halfway Home Cafe

A Bm A
It's a never ending saga and they're played out every day

D A
But this one's finally over the foods all put away

Bm A G
And the coffee pot stands empty at the Halfway Home Cafe

D A
But over in the corner at table number three

Bm A G
Sits a father and a runaway well it looks that way to me

A Bm
I said "I hate to interrupt you but its really gettin' late"

G D/F# Em A
The young girl looked up smilin she said "Mister that's ok"

--Chorus--
G D
I'm goin' home my family's waitin' for me Goin' home

I'm amazed that they still love me

Bm A G A
They forgive me for the bitter seeds I've sown

Bm A G
Heaven knows I've been away to long

A G
So now I'm going home....

A D
Hhmmm... I'm goin' home
