Baby had a smile

Stretched from ear to ear

Daddy took her shopping

To find the perfect dress

Like a model on a runway

He watched her twirl

 D
Said, "My girl

You're growing up too fast

Not ready for homecoming"

         G                D
She was driving down the highway

           A                 D
Probably dreaming 'bout her date

 G              D
Lost control around a curve

    D
And everything would change

    G         D
On September 28

The night before homecoming

Next thing the doctor's saying

         A               G
"There's nothing we can do"

 G                 D
Family falls down praying

            D               D
Right there in the waiting room

     G             D
God say, it isn't true

              G     D       A D
All of their tears running
[Chorus]
           G
There she goes

           D    G D A D
There she goes

           G
There she goes

There she goes
[Bridge]
      Bm
They laid her to rest

         G
In that pretty red dress

              D
I swear the clouds rolled away

          A
When her mama stood to say,

               G   D
"This was her homecoming"

[Verse 5]
          G               D
Well the way I'll always see it

     A                D
You said goodbye too soon

      G                    D
But these days you're the reason

                D
Why I'm living like I know

       G
We're all just passing through

On the way to our homecoming
