Capo 3rd fret
G C G
We call it melancholy when we're lonely
C D
They say we're transidental when we're high
C D G G/F# Em
And any time spent sufferin' we call it perserverane
C D
So we can make excuses when we lie.
G C G
Well I don't claim to understand the meaning of the world,
C D
Or the rhyme or reason of the song
C D G G/F# Em
But I know my mama loves me and my old dog went to Heaven
C D
And when radio plays Hank I sing along.
C G
- Well I'm a baptised follower of Jesus,
C G
And I'll admit that I've been led astray
C G G/F# Em
And I live out on the highway between insanity and Texas
C D
And home is just a phone call away
G
And I know everything's gonna be ok. -
G C G
Well I've never been good at understadin' women
C D
So I guess I've just been lucky with the girls.
C D G G/F# Em
And if brilliant men are roses, then I'm just a field of daisies
D
And I've traded in the Mozarts for the Merles.
G C G
I believe in happiness and freedom,
C D
And brisket that's been hardwood smoked for days.
C D G G/F# Em
And I've worn my cowboy boots all through the hallowed halls of Congress
C D
And sunlight always filters through the haze.
C G
- Well I'm a baptised follower of Jesus,
C G
And I'll admit that I've been led astray
C G G/F# Em
And I live out on the highway between insanity and Texas
C D
And home is just a phone call away
G
And I know everything's gonna be ok. -
C G G/F# Em C D
G C G
Standin' in the rain will drench the body,
C D
But dancin' in the rain will cleanse a soul
C D G G/F# Em
And no one ever said this life would be fair or easy
C D
And a quick road will almost always charge a toll.
G C G
But there are those around who'll always love me
C D
More than I deserve or can repay
C D G G/F# Em
And I know when that boogie man comes sneakin' out of the closet
C D
I can close my eyes and it's all gonna be ok.
C G
- Well I'm a baptised follower of Jesus,

And home is just a phone call away
