The barroom crowd is thinning out it must be getting late
A7
But if I’m free tomorrow night I’ll meet you here by eight
D G D
It’s hard to kiss two lips goodbye that’s sweeter than the wine
G D A7 D
The hardest part of all is going home to do my time
G D
From the minute I walk through the door I know how it will be
G D A7
I’ll sit across the room and wish she’d stop starring at me
D G D
We both tried but it’s no good our love’s dead on the vine
G D A7 D
Yet I must pay for loving you by going home to do my time
G D
I’ve never found the happiness at home I find with you
A7
And if she were all that’s holding me I’d make my dreams come true
D G D
But you know how much I love those little kids of mine
G D A7 D
They’re all I’ve got to keep me going home to do my time
G D
From the minute I walk through the door I know how it will be
G D A7
I’ll sit across the room and wish she’d stop starring at me
D G D
We both tried but it’s no good our love’s dead on the vine
G D A7 D
Yet I must pay for loving you by going home to do my time
