Recorded by Nancy Griffith Written by John Prine INSTRUMENTAL (C F G7 C twice, first time slowly)

C                                    F
You come home late and you come home early

G7                                      C
  You come on big when you're feelin' small

                                          F
You come home straight and you come home curly

G7                                 C
  Sometimes you don't come home at all

CHORUS:

                            F
So what in the world's come over you

G7                                   C
  And what in heavens name have you done

                                      F
You broken the speed of the sound of loneliness

G7                                            C
  You're out there runnin' just to be on the run

                                    F
Well I've got a heart that burns with a fever

G7                                      C
  And I've got a worried and a jealous mind

                               F
How can a love that'll last forever

G7                       C
  Now get left so far behind

CHORUS INSTRUMENTAL (Same as chorus)

C                                F
It's mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow

G7                              C
  It's crossed the evil line today

                         F
How can you ask about tomorrow

G7                               C
  When we ain't got one word to say

CHORUS (Repeated twice)

G7                                            C
  You're out there runnin' just to be on the run (Repeated twice)

INSTRUMENTAL (C F G7 C)
