[B] [E]
21 days out on the road, [G] the van broke [E] down in a foot of [E] snow.
Don't even know where the hell we are, [G] the banner's gone and the phone won't charge.
[D] Won't let you know.
[E] I'm doing my best to [B] get back home.
[Em] I [E] ain't had no sleep, ain't washed [G] my clothes, but everybody says it's a damn [E] good show.
Ain't nothing the crowd can [G] do, but sometimes I'd rather be chopping [E] wood.
Or rolling rocks up a hill.
But it's the only way I [D] know, ain't [E] failed.
[C] The songs I sing can't get through, [D] my mind fills up with you.
But [G] I tripped off [C] and I dreamed about [D] you and me.
[E]
Then I wake up to a wild ass crowd, [G] the guitar amp way [E] too loud.
Well the drummer been cheating on his [D] wife, and I face my ass to the [B] side.
But it's the way [E] it goes.
I'm just doing my best to get back home.
It's the [C] songs I sing can't get through, [D] my mind fills up with you.
But [G] I tripped off [C] and I dreamed about [D] you and me.

Well I managed to call five more [G] shows, let me talk to the kids and [E] I got to go.
Your man's gotta do what a man's gotta [G] do to bring that money on [E] home to you.
I won't [Em] let you know.
[E] I'm just doing my best to get back home.
Just doing my [D] best to get back home.
I'm just doing my best to get back [Em] home.
