The Way Back Home Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Well keep a Bible by your [C]bed
[D]even if you never [G]read it
Like a candle in the [C]drawer in case
the light[D]s g[G]o out
Keep your feet on solid [C]ground but
don't ever [D]let the stars go
[G]That way you'll alw[C]ays know the
[D]way back [G]home
[Em][C]

[Verse 2]
[D][G]
Keep a Twenty in your pock[C]et
and a [D]book for read[G]in'
If the truth hurts in your [C]throat,
keep mer[D]cy on your [G]tongue
Remember forgiveness is a choice
[C]the[D] bitterles[G]s are reaping
That way you'll [C]always know
the [D]way back [G]home

[Verse 3]
That [Em]way
When you're [C]missin' somebody
The [Em]way you miss somebody that you've
[C]know [G]your whole life
You're al[Em]ways
Just a [C]memory away from find[G]in'
That [C]dirt road that leads to the front [D]door
that made you who you [C]are

[Verse 4]
Remember [G]the smell of sum[C]mer
risin' [D]off of the driveway
[G]After an afternoon rai[C]n,
Mama callin' you [D]in [G]to eat
If you feel like [C]you've been lost,
think of the [D]backyard [G]you came from
That way you'll [C]always know
the [D]way back [G]home

[Verse 5]
That [Em]way
When you're [C]missin' somebody
The [Em]way you miss somebody that you've
[C]know your whole [G]life
You're al[Em]ways
Just a [C]memory away [G]from findin'
That [C]dirt road that leads to the front [D]door
that made you who [Em]you [C]are[G][D]
Made you who you [Em]are
[C][G]

[Verse 6]
[D]
In your [G]chest there [C]is a compass,
in your [D]blood there is a call[G]ing
And in your head there is a vis[C]ion,
you [D]called that [G]"the dream"
And leavin's [C]part of it,
if you didn't [D]you might never [G]know
Keep a Bible by [C]your bed like
headlights [D]comin' up the road
