Capo 2

              C
I ain't gonna sing no lonesome tune, Ah, babe, I'm a comin' soon
G                                  C
I cannot believe I stayed so long away
      C  
But a man must look around and you're the sweetest thing I've found
     G                                 C
Your lost high roller's rollin' home today


My Daddy said to me "Son, it's hard, as you will see
To find someone upon whom to rely
And in the kitchen, Mama sneezed and he grinned big as you please
He said, "Bless you" and a tear come to his eye


I did decide that very day that I would like to live that way
And now I know I just been wastin' time
It's with you that I should be, if you feel the same 'bout me
I'm headed home along the straightest line

I ain't gonna sing no lonesome tune, Ah, babe, I'm a comin' soon
I cannot believe I stayed so long away
But a man must look around, you're the sweetest thing I've found
Your lost high roller's rollin' home today
