The barroom crowd is thinning out it must be getting late
E7
But if I’m free tomorrow night I’ll meet you here by eight
A D A
It’s hard to kiss two lips goodbye that’s sweeter than the wine
D A E7 A
The hardest part of all is going home to do my time
D A
From the minute I walk through the door I know how it will be
D A E7
I’ll sit across the room and wish she’d stop starring at me
A D A
We both tried but it’s no good our love’s dead on the vine
D A E7 A
Yet I must pay for loving you by going home to do my time
D A
I’ve never found the happiness at home I find with you
E7
And if she were all that’s holding me I’d make my dreams come true
A D A
But you know how much I love those little kids of mine
D A E7 A
They’re all I’ve got to keep me going home to do my time
D A
From the minute I walk through the door I know how it will be
D A E7
I’ll sit across the room and wish she’d stop starring at me
A D A
We both tried but it’s no good our love’s dead on the vine
D A E7 A
Yet I must pay for loving you by going home to do my time
