[Verse 1]
F C
Old friend, it’s been a while
G Am
And I ain’t spoke to you in years
F C
And often times, boys from this town
G Am
Put wheels down and disappear
F C
Miss Cole asked about you just three days back
G Am
And I had no answer to give her
F C
Told her that you moved way out West
G Am
To write some songs and grow a little more bitter
F C
Kids talk about you around here
G Am
Like you’re some kind of legend
F C
I wonder if they know a thousand sunrises ago
G Am
You were eager just like them
[Chorus]
F C
But if you ever decide
G Am
To bring your pain and your pride
F C
Back to this side of Oklahoma City
G Am
There’ll be a porch light on from the post you leaned on
F C
‘Fore we wound up on the wrong side of pity
G Am
And often times I pray for you, and often times I don’t
F
Is it the goodbyes that haunt you
C
Or the fear of new hellos?
G Am
Won’t stay for long ‘cause you won’t stop your running
F C G Am
Wait for tomorrow till tomorrow’s not coming
[Interlude]
F C G Am
Whoo
[Verse 2]
F C
Heard you landed in Tulsa while he slipped away
G Am F
Is that the reason you’re fleeing the fields we hauled hay?
F C
Heat this July or the dark last December
G Am
Look in my eyes, and you might remember
F C
Weed out in Norman, the Stillwater strip
F G
Run far enough, boy, and you’re bound to trip
[Chorus]
F
But if you ever decide
C G
To bring your pain and your pride
F C 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
‘Fore we wound up on the wrong side of pity
F F
And often times I pray for you, and often times I don’t
C G
Is it the goodbyes that haunt you
Am
Or the fear of new hellos?
F C
Never stay long ‘cause you won’t stop your running
G Am
Wait for tomorrow till tomorrow’s not coming
N.C.
Send it
[Interlude]
F C G Am
Whoo
Here it comes
[Chorus]
F
If you ever decide
C G
To bring your pain and your pride
Am
Back to this side of Oklahoma City
F C
There’ll be a porch light on from the post you leaned on
