D                         G
Long after the last train rolled out of town 
  D                      A
I had to find out if the world was round 
     D               G
So I left Louisiana, big city bound 
D           A         D
Looking for god knows what

Mama gave me her bible and choked back the tears 
D                         A
Said, girl, it so easy to get lost out there 
      D                   G
Every night I'll remember you in my prayers

God knows what was on my mind 
      G                D
Every step I took fell faster 
     A
Everything I left behind 
         G              D
Turned into the greener pastures 
            A                   Em
What will I find after all this time 
       G         A         D
Coming back from god knows what 


D                       G
Pride tastes bitter and dreams die hard 
     D                     A
It's tough to admit but at least that's a start 
      D                        G
Took along way around but that old backyard 
          D            A         D
Beats the devil out of god knows what
