G G7 C He's an hour away from riding on your prayers up in the sky D7 G And ten days on the road are barely gone.

C D7 G C The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way, Am C D7 The happiness that livin’ with you brings me. G G7 C It's the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you, D7 G It's the little things that make a house a home. G7 C Like a fire softly burning and supper on the stove D7 G And the light in your eyes that makes me warm. C D7 G G7 C Hey, it's good to be back home again. D7 G C Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend. D7 G Yes, ‘n’ hey, it's good to be back home again. D7 G I said hey, it's good to be back home again.
