            C
I come from just the other side of nowhere,
           F
to this big time lonesome town,
        G
they got a lotta of ice an' snow here,
                 F                           C
ain't half as cold as all the people I've found.
                      C7
Everywhere I try to go here,
              F
somebody's always trying to bring me down,
        G                     G7                C  C7
I've seen about enough to know where I'll be bound.

            F                          G
I've got a mind to see the headlights shinin' on that old white
 C                         Am
line between my heart and home,
 F                         G
sick of spendin' Sundays, wishin' they were Mondays,
C                      C7
    sittin' in a park alone.
         F                    G
Give my best to anyone who's left, who's ever done me
 C                  Am
any lovin' way but wrong,
     F                             G
and tell them that's the pride of just the other side
                    G7
of nowhere's goin' home.

   C
Takin' nothing back to show there,
             F
for these dues that I've paid,
           G
but the soul I almost sold here,
        F                      C
and the body I've been givin' away.
                         C7
 Fadin' from the neon nightime glow here,
   F
headin' for the light of day,
    G                     G7             C C7
just the other side of nowhere, goin' home.

            F                          G
I've got a mind to see the headlights shinin' on that old white
 C                         Am
line between my heart and home,
 F                         G
sick of spendin' Sundays, wishin' they were Mondays,
C                      C7
    sittin' in a park alone.
         F                    G
Give my best to anyone who's left, who's ever done me
 C                  Am
any lovin' way but wrong,
     F                             G
and tell them that's the pride of just the other side
                    G7
of nowhere's goin' home.
