VERSE:
      G
Old friend,
             D
It’s been awhile,
          A              Bm
I ain’t spoke to you in years,

     G
And often times,
           D
Boys from this town,
      A                  Bm
Put wheels down and disappear,

      G
Mrs. Cole asked about you
      D
Just three days back,
    A                   Bm
And I had no answer to give her,

   G                       D
I told her that you moved way out west,
               A                            Bm
To write some songs and grow a little more bitter,

     G                     D
The kids talk about you around here
             A            Bm
Like you’re some kind of 🏷Legend

   G                              D
I wonder if they know a thousand sunrises ago
          A               Bm  Bm
You were eager just like them.


CHORUS:
            G                         D
But if you ever decide to bring your pain and your pride
         A                    Bm
Back to this side of Oklahoma City,

               G
There’ll be a porch light on,
          D
From the post you leaned on
             A                           Bm
Before you wound up on the wrong side of pity,

     G                              D
And often times I pray for you and often times I don’t,
            A                             Bm
Is it the goodbyes that haunt you or the fear of new hellos,

     G                              D
You won`t stay for long `cause you won’t stop your running,
 A                         Bm
Wait for tomorrow until tomorrow’s not coming.

VERSE:
           G                    D
Heard you landed in Tulsa while he slipped away,
             A                       Bm
Is that the reason your fleeing the fields we hauled hay,

 G                     D
Heat this July or the dark last December,
 A                  Bm
Look in my eyes and you might remember,

 G                        D
Weed out in Norman, the Stillwater strip,
 A                      Bm                  Bm
Run far enough boy and you’re bound to trip.

CHORUS:
            G                         D
But if you ever decide to bring your pain and your pride
         A                    Bm
Back to this side of Oklahoma City,

               G
There’ll be a porch light on,
          D
From the post you leaned on
             A                           Bm
Before you wound up on the wrong side of pity,

     G                              D
And often times I pray for you and often times I don’t,
            A                             Bm
Is it the goodbyes that haunt you or the fear of new hellos,

     G                          D
You never stay long `cause you won’t stop your running,
 A                         Bm
Wait for tomorrow until tomorrow’s not coming.
