Long Way Back Home Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]We weren't even
supposed to be there
It was just another run
Took a detour cross the river
Make it back home before dawn
And my [D]hands they took to shak[Dm]ing
When [D]I see headlights
down [Dm]the road
[Am]Mid-July in in Arkansas it sure
ain't cause I'm cold
In my [G]hand I hold a pistol
In my [Dm]heart I hold the weight

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][Am]

[Verse 2]
Well [Am]it's been twenty years now
Since my father passed away
It's been me and my brothers since
And we learned to make our way
[Dm]One went in the army and
one was a marine
[Am]But since they came back home
We just been taking what we need
[G]Never really [Am]think about [Dm]what's

[Interlude 2]
outside the law
[Dm][Am]

[Verse 3]
And it's a [C]long [G]way [Am]back home
[C]

[Verse 4]
[G]It [Am]wasn't supposed
to be like this
Thought no one was around
I never saw it coming
Heard the shots and hit the ground
That's [Dm]when the screaming started
And I started up the car
We [Am]headed for I-40
Hope they don't follow that far
In my [G]hand I hold a pistol
[Am]In my he[Dm]art I hold the weight

[Interlude 3]
[Dm][Am]

[Verse 5]
And it's [C]a long [G]way back [Am]home
And it's a [C]long [G]way back home

[Verse 6]
[Am]We g[Dm]rew up quick[Am][C]
We grew up [Am]strong
[Dm]Hoping that's [Am]enough to get us home

[Interlude 4]
[G][Am][G][Dm]
[Am][G][Dm][Am][G]
[Dm][Am][G][Dm][Am]

[Verse 7]
And it's [C]a long [G]way back [Am]home
And [C]it's a long [G]way back [Am]home
And it's a [C]long [G]way back home
Long way back [Am]home
