Now you country fools in your one-horse town, you can laugh at me

C D G
Mister, that's my home
F C Am7 C/D GEm7GEm7
What a fool I was to leave the only happiness I've known.

You see me comin', you wink your eye and call me Captain Jim
G Em7
And when I don't do nothin' but to walk on by you say,
G Em7
"Baby get a load of him."
G Em7 G Em7
All I need is the sea and the sky and I know where I stand
G Em7 F C
instead of you hicks straight out of the sticks deciding I ain't a man

F C Am7 D
Up here I'm just a whiskey bum but down there I'm a king

"Welcome home, welcome home." -- Such a sight to see

G Em7 G Em7
Now I know that the Yankee whiskey is takin' away my mind
G Em7 G Em7
and I know that run is the only drink suitable to man-kind

And I know that this tree I'm under is shaped entirely wrong
