Home By Dawn

                         D
He said goodbye and just walked right out the door
                                                   G
He looked so good he must have practiced it before
         D             G
He said, I got me some business
D                      G
Said it shouldn't take long
           C   G              D
She cried, oh, you be home by dawn
                           C   G              D
(She must have been crazy) Oh, you be home by dawn

He started shooting when times got lean and hard
He didn't expect to be runnin' through a wrecking yard
She was home with the lights on,
Every shade was drawn
She cried oh, bring him home by dawn
(The boy's in trouble now) Oh, you be home by dawn!

He said goodbye and just walked right out the door
She said last time honey, you've done it too much before
She even said, you can take it or leave it so naturally he's gone
She cried oh, be home by dawn
(One too many times) Oh she said be home by dawn
Who did she think I was to be home by dawn
No, no, no, I don't know how to be home by dawn
