Cant Get Home

Am G7 C I know better than to cuss in my mama's house Am G So more than not I just shut my mouth Am C She hasn't lived here in a year or more Am G7 C But I still stand a little straighter when I walk in the door Am G7 C There's a fresh coat of paint on the kitchen wall Am G How it looked before I scare recall Am G7 C Somewhere beneath there's a pencil line Am G7 C Shows how tall I stood the day I turned nine Am G7 C I can't unsee what I've been shown Am G My body's been and my mind is lone Am G7 C And I never was ready for the things I know Am G7 C I can find the house, but I can't get home Am G7 C I did my first tour in '94 Am G I was following the dead, I didn't fight no war Am G7 C And everywhere I went all the locals stared Am G7 C And it felt good feeling like a stranger there Am G7 C I can't unsee what I've been shown Am G My body's been and my mind is lone Am G7 C And I never was ready for the things I know Am G7 C I can find the house, but I can't get home Am G7 C Dogwood's blooming like they always did Am G And the roof still leaks on the garden shed Am G7 C And the sign in the yard says it's all been sold Am G7 C But I gave it away a long time ago Am G7 C I can't unsee what I've been shown Am G My body's been and my mind is lone Am G7 C And I never was ready for the things I know Am G7 C I can find the house, but I can't get home Am G7 C I can walk in the door, but I can't get home Am G7 C I can sleep in the bed, but I can't get home
