Version 1 Version 2
[Intro]
F C G Am
[Verse]
F C
Old friend, it’s been awhile,
G Am
I ain’t spoke to you in years,
F C
Often times, boys from this town,
G Am
put wheels down and disappear,
F C
Mrs. Cole asked about you just three days back,
G Am
and I had no answer to give her,
F C
I told her that you moved way out west,
G Am
to write some songs and grow a little more bitter,
F C
The kids talk about you around here
G Am
like you’re some kind of legend
F C G Am
I wonder if they know a thousand sunrises ago you were eager just like them.
[Chorus]
F C
But if you ever decide to bring your pain and your pride
G Am
back to this side of Oklahoma City,
F C
There’ll be a porch light on, from the post you leaned on
G Am
before you wound up on the wrong side of pity,
F C
Often times I pray for you and often times I don’t,
G Am
is it the goodbyes that haunt you or the fear of new hellos,
F C
You never stay long cause you won’t stop your running,
G Am
you’ll wait for tomorrow until tomorrow’s not coming.
F C G Am
[Verse]
F C
Heard you landed in Tulsa while he slipped away,
G Am
Is that the reason your fleeing the fields we hauled hay,
F C
The heat this July or the dark last December,
G Am
Look in my eyes and you might remember,
F C
The weed out in Norman or the Stillwater strip,
G Am
Run far enough boy and you’re bound to trip.
[Chorus]
F C
But if you ever decide to bring your pain and your pride
G Am
back to this side of Oklahoma City,
F C
There’ll be a porch light on, from the post you leaned on
G Am
before you wound up on the wrong side of pity,
F C
Often times I pray for you and often times I don’t,
G Am
is it the goodbyes that haunt you or the fear of new hellos,
F C
You never stay long cause you won’t stop your running,
G Am
you’ll wait for tomorrow until tomorrow’s not coming.
[Outro]
F C
But if you ever decide to bring your pain and your pride
G Am
back to this side of Oklahoma City,
F C
There’ll be a porch light on, from the post you leaned on
G Am
before you wound up on the wrong side of pity,
F C
Often times I pray for you and often times I don’t,
G Am
is it the goodbyes that haunt you or the fear of new hellos,
F C
You never stay long cause you won’t stop your running,
G Am
you’ll wait for tomorrow until tomorrow’s not coming.
