capo: 4th fretcover version from phosphorescent song by Tom T Hall
[verse (1)]
I Cguess I should've written, Dad, to let you know that I was coming home
FI've been gone so many years, I didn't realize you had a phone
I Csaw your cattle coming in, boy they're looking mighty fat and slick
I Fsaw Fred at the service station, Gtold me that his wife is awful Csick
[verse (2)]
CYou heard my record on the radio, oh, well it's just another song
But I've Fgot a hit recorded and it'll be out on the market 'fore too long
I Cgot this ring in Mexico, no, it didn't cost me quite a bunch
When you're Fin the business that I'm in, the Gpeople call it puttin' up a fCront
[verse (3)]
I kCnow I've lost a little weight, I guess I am looking kind of pale
If you Fdidn't know me better, Dad, you'd think that I'd just gotten out of jail
No, Cwe don't ever call them beer joints, night clubs are the places that I work
You Fmeet a lot of people there, but no,G there ain't much chance of gettin' Churt
[verse 4 - change chords]
I'm Dsorry that I couldn't be there with you all when Momma passed away
GI was on the road and when they came and told me it was just too late
DI drove by the grave to see her, boy, that really is a pretty stone
I'm gGlad that Fred and Jan are here, it'sA better than you being here aDlone
[verse (5)]
Well I kDnew you's gonna ask me who the lady is that's sleeping in the car
That's Gjust a girl who works for me and, man, she plays a pretty mean guitar
We Dworked in San Antone last night, she didn't even have the time to dress
She dGrove me down from Nashville and to Atell the truth I guess she needs the Drest
[verse (6)]
Well, DDad, I gotta go, we got a dance to work in Cartersville tonight
GLet me take your number down, I'll call you, and I promise you I'll write
Now Dyou be good and don't be chasin' all those pretty women that you know
And Gby the way if you see Barbara AWalker tell her that I said DHello
