Driving to a baseball game, on a Friday afternoon

C#m          A                E        E
Hotter than Hell in Atlanta, Georgia 

C#m              A        E           (B)
Guess it's been 15 years since I came through here

C#m          A                 E          E
Probably should have called to warn you

                    B              A
But I'm stopping by, I'm stopping by, Daddy

C#m          A                 E            (B)
How did your life turned out? Do you ever think about

C#m         A         E            E
teenage girl in Chattannoga…

C#m             A               E                (B)
Ever tell your folks the truth?,that might been the last of you

C#m          A                E                 E
It would have been a shame we hardly knew you

                   B                A  
Now I'm stopping by, I'm stopping by, Daddy

C#m                         A                E            E
Think the best of me is still standing in the doorway

C#m                       A                   E           E
Counting cars and counting days and counting years

C#m                       A                 E             E
I could say you made me go through life the hard way

                    B                      A
It might have been worse if you were here             

C#m               A              E               (B)
Looking through a picture book, this one I think my mama took

C#m              A              E              E
You couldn't have been much over 20

C#m                      A                 E           (B)
You're shirtless in your cut off jeans and hand a lollypop to me 

C#m             A                   E           E
Probably asked where you got the money

C#m           A         E      (B)
Picture on another page, I recognize my eyes have aged

C#m          A            E          E
I'd been alone for quite a while then

C#m             A             E              (B)
Trying to get a match to burn, waiting on a latch to turn

C#m           A                E       E
I still have difficulty smiling

                   B                 A
But I'm stopping by, I'm stopping by, Daddy

C#m             A                   E           E
Think the best of me is still standing in the doorway

C#m        A         E           E
Whatever's left is headed south on 85

C#m       A            E           E
Passing families on vacation headed your way

                           B                      A
They look so happy and alive, that I'm stopping by, Daddy
