Home Again Rivers
F Gm
You took it in your stride to run away and hide
Am Dm A# F C
Thru all the pain of battle and the breaking of your pride.
F Gm
Sweet Billy James's been asking where you've gone.
Am Dm A# F C
It's been so many years now since you've taken off the gun.
F Gm
Well, the grass is getting dry and it seems your name they're calling;
Am Dm A# F C
The rain, it hasn't fallen, only tears shed from our eyes.
F Gm
They say there isn't rain in the hills of West Virginia,
Am Dm A# F C
But dying isn't in ya but the rhinestone bears your name.
F Gm
You're the father of your child but your mind just seems to wander,
Am Dm A# F C
Let no man hold you under while your heart is running wild.
F Gm
And I've searched so many towns and I've roamed so many places,
Am Dm A# F C
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,
F C G7 C
Come home again rivers, Billy’s come home.
