[Verse 1]
Em G The covey took wing D G Shotguns a singing C G D D A pointing dog down in the old logging road Em G Danny got three D G And looked back a grinning C G D D I fumbled around and I tried to reload C G The country was cold D G With the sun westward sinking C G D D It's good to be back in this place C G With my hands around D G A Belgian made Browning C G D D D D My mind on the lines of her face
[Verse 2]
Em G Well now Danny's my buddy D G We grew up like family C G D D Hunted this timber before we could drive Em G The old English pointer D G He once belonged to me C G D D But I gave him up when I moved in '05 C G Off with the girl D G Off to the city C G D D Off on a wing and a chance C G Hell I thought it'd play out D G Just like some story C G D D D D We fell in love at a rodeo dance
[Chorus]
G G C G She said go on back to Cherokee County C G D D Won't you crawl back with nothing but a razor and a comb G G C G Babe, if you need me, I'll be where you found me C G D Em Em G G Go on to hell, honey, I'm headed home
[Verse 3]
Em G Dan says, "Look at old Jim D G A dozen Decembers C G D D Behind him no worse for the wear Em G And your time spent in Tulsa D G Did not help your shooting C G D D And look at the gray in your hair C G How good does it feel? D G You belong in these hills C G D D It's best that you let it all end C G If you'd have married that girl D G You'd have married her family C G D D D D You dodged a bullet my friend"
[Chorus]
G G C G She said go on back to Cherokee County C G D D Won't you crawl back with nothing but a razor and a comb G G C G Babe, if you need me, I'll be where you found me C G D Em Em G G Go on to hell, honey, I'm headed home
[Verse 4]
Em I was beginning D To deal with it end Am G D The old dog had pointed while part of me died Em And a flutter of feathers G Then a shotgun to shoulder C G D I thought of the Fourth of July C G D She'll be home on the Fourth of July C G D I bet we'll dance on the Fourth of July

[Verse 5]
C G Dan says, "Hell of a shot D G Looks like you've still got it C G D D That's what we came here to do C G It's light enough still D G At the foot of the hill C G D D D D We could kick up a single or two" G G C G She said go on back to Cherokee County C G D D Won't you crawl back with nothing but a razor and a comb G G C G Babe, if you need me, I'll be where you found me C G D G Go on to hell, honey, I'm headed home C G D Em G Go on to hell, honey, I'm headed home
