Seven lonely days
C C4/G
and a dozen towns ago,
C C4/G
I reached out one night

Don't know why you'd run,
C Am
what you're running to or from,
D7 Dm7
all I know is I want to

bring you home.
C C4/G
So I'm walking in the rain,
C Bb/C
thumbing for a ride

on this lonely

They said "Yes, she's been here"

but their mem'ry wasn't clear,

So I fin'ly got a ride
C Bb/C
with a preacher man who asked:
C Bb/C
"Where you bound on such a cold dark
C C7/4
afternoon?"

that I'd find you
