Home Again Rivers
G Am
You took it in your stride to run away and hide
Bm Em C G D
Thru all the pain of battle and the breaking of your pride.
G Am
Sweet Billy James's been asking where you've gone.
Bm Em C G D
It's been so many years now since you've taken off the gun.
G Am
Well, the grass is getting dry and it seems your name they're calling;
Bm Em C G D
The rain, it hasn't fallen, only tears shed from our eyes.
G Am
They say there isn't rain in the hills of West Virginia,
Bm Em C G D
But dying isn't in ya but the rhinestone bears your name.
G Am
You're the father of your child but your mind just seems to wander,
Bm Em C G D
Let no man hold you under while your heart is running wild.
G Am
And I've searched so many towns and I've roamed so many places,
Bm Em C G D
I've seen so many faces but I've never known your own.
Well, there's gonna be a day when your drinking wine is through now,
And the people close to you now will have you here to stay.

Home again rivers, home again rivers,
G D A7 D
Come home again rivers, Billy’s come home.
