And never come back someday

C G C
Well I wouldn't want to hurt a solitary soul
F C
I have still got all 6 foot 2 in control
F
But when my obligation's low
C
Is a greasy uphill road
D G G7
And pleasin' everybody but me is my first goal, Sooo,
C G C
I want to sit on the porch and pick on my old guitar
F C
And just hope your hangin' loose wherever you are
F
And for the joy you brought to me
C
This song I sung for thee
D G
While I sit on the porch and pick on my old guitar
