Lucero – Long Way Back Home (Guitar)

Am
We weren't even supposed to be there

Am
It was just another run

Am
Took a detour cross the river

Am
Make it back home before dawn

Dm
And my hands they took to shaking

Dm
When I see headlights down the road

Am
Mid-July in Arkansas it sure ain't cause I'm cold

G
In my hand I hold a pistol

Dm
In my heart I hold the weight

Am
Well it's been twenty years now

Am
Since my father passed away

Am
It's been me and my brothers since

Am
And we learned to make our way

Dm
One went in the army and one was a marine

Dm
But since they came back home

G
We just been taking what we need

Dm
Never really think about what's outside the law

           G    Dm       Am     Am
And it's a long way back home

           G    Dm       Am     Am
And it's a long way back home

Am
It wasn't supposed to be like this

Am
Thought no one was around

Am
I never saw it coming

Am
Heard the shots and hit the ground

Dm
That's when the screaming started

Dm
And I started up the car

Am
We headed for I-40

Am
Hope they don't follow that far

G
In my hand I hold a pistol

Dm
In my heart I hold the weight

           G    Dm       Am     Am
And it's a long way back home

           G    Dm       Am     Am
And it's a long way back home

Dm         Am
We grew up quick

G          Am
We grew up strong

Dm            Am               G       G
Hoping that's enough to get us home

           G    Dm       Am     Am
And it's a long way back home

           G    Dm       Am     Am
And it's a long way back home

           G    Dm       Am     Am
And it's a long way back home

           G    Dm       Am     Am
           Long way back home
