[Intro] D A [Verse 1]
                 D
I ain't going to sing no lonesome tune

    D
Ah, babe, I'm a coming soon

  A                                D
I cannot believe I stayed so long away

      D
But a man must look around

               D
You're the sweetest thing I've found

           A                               D
All your lost high roller's rolling home today
[Verse 2]
         D
Well, my Daddy said to me

           D
"Son, it's hard as you will see

   A                           D
To find someone upon whom to rely

          D
In the kitchen, Mama sneezed

       D
And he grinned big as you please

       A                                 D
Said, "Bless you" and a tear come to his eye
[Guitar Intermission] D A D A [Verse 3]
        D
I did decide that very day

             D
That I would like to live that way

          A                        D
And now I know I just been wasting time

          D
It's with you that I should be

           D
And if you feel the same 'bout me

         A                                 D
Well I'm headed home along the straightest line
[Verse 1]
               D
Ain't going to sing no lonesome tune

    D
Ah, babe, I'm a coming soon

     A                             D
I cannot believe I stayed so long away

      D
But a man must look around

                   D
And you're the sweetest thing I've found

         A                                 D
All your lost high roller's rolling home today
