She opened up the ^Eletter ^Dfrom ^ENashville, Ten- ^Anessee He said, "Hon, they like my ^Dmusic, ^Ethe songs I wrote for you and ^Ame" The boys and me just cut a ^Drecord and it could hit the charts before too ^Along So it's gonna be a ^Ewhile 'til I can come back ^Ahome ^{G D A}

Yes, I'm gonna be a ^Dcountry star and everyone will know my ^Aname Ah, you know I love those ^Ebright lights when I step on stage to ^Asing ^{G D A} I'll be travlin' 'round the ^Dcountry with a big bus and a ^Aband So just keep the home fires ^Eburnin' while I'm gone And I'll get back home when I ^Acan ^{D A}

She said, "Hun, I hear your ^Erecord, ^Daw, they ^Eplay it every- ^Aday And everybody really ^Dlikes it, ^Eso I guess your on your ^Away But darling, please re- ^Dmember we all need you here at ^Ahome And the kids all miss their ^Edaddy, so don't be gone ^Atoo long" ^{G D A}

After six long months of ^Fgoin', ^EbI guess the ^Froad just finally took it's ^Bbtoll 'Cause his songs had lost all ^Ebmeaning ^Fand he felt so all a- ^Bblone Then one night in ^EbJackson, he went out on stage to ^Bbplay And the crowd stared at ^Fdisbelief at the words he had to ^Bbsay ^{Ab Eb Bb}
