Verse:
E                  G
Businessman come to own this town
 A
DEA started hanging around
       E                       G
Fine cocaine, it covered every street
              A
For the next state counties, it'd come through me
 E                      G
Church every Sunday, a God-fearing man
 A
Lord up above figured out my plan
 E                       G
Man with two kids, and a third on the way's
             A
Supposed to get by punching eight hours every day

{break}
C G A

E                                G
Run through the mountains, and hide in the hills
 A
Packed the kids and the wife in the automobile
 E                           G
Gas and the shop, and the matches on the pit
  A
Turned a 30-year mortgage into smoldering bits

Chorus:
C          G              A
Some days I wanna tell the world
 E          G       A
But I can't tell a soul
C           G        A
It wouldn't change a thing
        E   N.C.  
And it wouldn't bring you home

E G A

Verse:
E                   G
My boys look up to their daddy with pride
   A
They take after me like I did mine
 E                  G
Got her smile but they got my eyes
A
Mouths like sailors and a fightin' side

Chorus:
C          G              A
Some days I wanna tell the world
 E          G       A
But I can't tell a soul
C           G        A
It wouldn't change a thing
        E   N.C.  
And it wouldn't bring you home

Verse:
N.C.
22 miles due southeast

'Neath the shadow of a 60-year-old oak tree
My first love, sweet Savannah lies

Cold and blue on the dirt and dust

Can't raise my boys behind concrete

From pay phone call twice a week

Chorus:
C          G              A
Some days I wanna tell the world
 E          G       A
But I can't tell a soul
C           G        A
It wouldn't change a thing
        E   N.C.  
And it wouldn't bring you home
