When your soul is a-runnin' dry, 
  A 
a country boy can tell 
        A 
There's only one way to quench your thirst 
             A 
And that's a-drinkin' at the family well 
                   D*      E}*      A 
Well it's been too long, way way too long

       A 
Well I need a night or two on the back porch, 
     A 
just there among the stars 
      A 
Gonna free my mind for a little while 
       A 
Of the honky tonks and bars 
                   D*      E}*      A 
Yeah it's been too long, way way too long 
              E                         A 
T-t-t-t-t-too long, yeah I'm going home
