The barroom crowd is thinning out it must be getting late
D#7
But if I’m free tomorrow night I’ll meet you here by eight
G# C# G#
It’s hard to kiss two lips goodbye that’s sweeter than the wine
C# G# D#7 G#
The hardest part of all is going home to do my time
C# G#
From the minute I walk through the door I know how it will be
C# G# D#7
I’ll sit across the room and wish she’d stop starring at me
G# C# G#
We both tried but it’s no good our love’s dead on the vine
C# G# D#7 G#
Yet I must pay for loving you by going home to do my time
C# G#
I’ve never found the happiness at home I find with you
D#7
And if she were all that’s holding me I’d make my dreams come true
G# C# G#
But you know how much I love those little kids of mine
C# G# D#7 G#
They’re all I’ve got to keep me going home to do my time
C# G#
From the minute I walk through the door I know how it will be
C# G# D#7
I’ll sit across the room and wish she’d stop starring at me
G# C# G#
We both tried but it’s no good our love’s dead on the vine
C# G# D#7 G#
Yet I must pay for loving you by going home to do my time
