Tom: C
C Am
He came from the lowlands
C F Am
A farm in Tennessee that took the stand.
C F Am
A baby too small to want much more,
C F Am
To the west hills, he was taken for to grow.
C Am
His mother, a mystery
C F Am
Too wrapped up in her theories to attend
C F Am
His father wants so bad the simple life,
C F Am
And neither took the time to raise him right.
[Chorus]
F Am
Oh, he's gone back;
F C Am
He's lookin' for a girl to ease his mind,
F C G Am
But I'm bettin' my last dime he won't return for a long, long time
G Am
'Cause he's lookin' for a different kind.
[Verse 2]
C Am
Now, back to Tennessee:
C F Am
Summers fill where this road he's walkin' started;
C F Am
People there still lived off washed-up dreams,
C F Am
And we watched the fires burn down last year's fields.
[Chorus]
F Am
Oh, he's gone back;
F C Am
He's lookin' for a girl to ease his mind,
F C G Am
But I'm bettin' my last dime he won't return for a long, long time
G Am
'Cause he's lookin' for a different kind.
[Verse 3]
C Am
Now, cynical and jaded,
C F Am
The Pacific coasters hold his head and heart
C F Am
A man who fares his own way with his pride,
C F Am
But the proud ways leave an empty place inside.
[Chorus]
F Am
Oh, he's gone back;
F C Am
He's lookin' for a girl to ease his mind,
F C G Am
But I'm bettin' my last dime he won't return for a long, long time
G Am
'Cause he's lookin' for a different kind.
G Am
Yeah, he's out to find a different kind.
