Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Por[G]tla[D]nd [G]mai[D]n i[G]s just
the same as sunny Tennessee
[Am]Portland [C]main [Am]is just th[C]e same
as sunny Tenness[G]ee
Any [D]old place I hang my hat is,
home sweet home [G]to [D]me[G]
Hey, hey

[Verse 2]
I went [G]to the depot and
I looked up on the board
I [C]went to the [Am]depot and I looked
up [C]on [G]the board
It read [C]it's good [Am]times [C]here,
but [D]better on [G]down the road
[D][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]Eat my breakfast here,
get my dinner in New Orleans
[D]Eat my [Am]break[C]fast here,
get my dinner in New [G]Or leans
I'm going to get [D]me a momma, Lord,

[Interlude 1]
I ain't never seen
[G][D][G][Am][C][D][G]

[Verse 4]
[G]Where was you momma,
when the train left the shed?
Where [Am]was you momma,
when the train left the [G]shed?
Standin' in my front [D]door,
wishin' to God, I was [G]dead
[Am][D][G]

[Verse 5]
If your house catcha fire,
there ain't no one around
If [D]your house [Am]catcha fire,
there ain't [C]no one [G]around
Just put my son out [D]the window,
let the house burn [G]down
[D][G]

[Verse 6]
If that's your momma,
you'd better tie her to your side
If [Am]that's [D]your momma,
[C]you'd better tie[Am] her to your sid[G]e
'Cause if she [D]flash my train,
I'll sure let [G]her ride

[Outro 1]
