Lyrics

When Fan cy cars and dia mond rings, I’ve

seen all kinds of shin y things.

I

should be feel ing (Fm7)like a king, but Lord, (C)I don’t.

Great big town, so full of us ers.

Make a mil lion, still a los er.

Some ’ll bet on (Fm7)you to win; most hope (C)you won’t.

Liv in’ wild,

ain’t no mer cy be ing free

when it brings you to your knees, I was can’t keep (Dm7)ly

(G)in’.

I see the road now,

I know just what I need

to (Fm)find my way back to (C)Ten nes see.

I’m go in’ home now

to South ern air so sweet,

and (Fm)find my way back to (C)Ten nes see.

When I was on ly sev en teen, I

left be hind my beau ty queen.

I

turned my back on (Fm7)ev ’ry thing and ev (C)’ry one.

Rooms with lots of pret ty fac es

still don’t fill the emp ty spac es.

Won d’ring where a (Fm7)maz ing grace is; there (C)is none.

Now I know

there’s no com fort in this world.

God, I miss that home town girl, I was want to (Dm7)hold

(G)her.

I’m on the road now,

I know just what I need

to (Fm)find my way back to (C)Ten nes see.

I’m com in’ home now

to South ern air so sweet,

and (Fm)find my way back to (C)Ten nes see.

(Fm)find my way back to (Am7)you and me,

(Fm)find my way back to (C)Ten nes see.
