Intro: A#  F  C  Dm

      A#                 F
Old friend, it’s been awhile,
          C             Dm
I ain’t spoke to you in years,
A#                       F
Often times, boys from this town,
      C                  Dm
Put wheels down and disappear,

      A#                        F
Mrs. Cole asked about you just three days back,
    C                   Dm
And I had no answer to give her,
   A#                      F
I told her that you moved way out west,
               C                              Dm
To write some songs and grow a little more bitter,


     A#                   F
The kids talk about you around here
             C            Dm
Like you’re some kind of legend
   A#
I wonder if they know a thousand
 F                    C             Dm
Sunrises ago you were eager just like them.

Chorus:
           A#                         F
But if you ever decide to bring your pain and your
                C                    Dm
Pride back to this side of Oklahoma City,
               A#
There’ll be a porch light on,
          F
From the post you leaned on
            C                             Dm
Before you wound up on the wrong side of pity,
A#                             F
Often times I pray for you and often times I don’t,
           C
Is it the goodbyes that haunt you or
     Dm
The fear of new hellos
 A#                        F
Never stay long cause you won’t stop your
                C
Running you’ll wait for tomorrow
         Dm
Until tomorrow’s not coming.

A#  F  C  Dm

           A#                    F
Heard you landed in Tulsa while he slipped away
             C
Is that the reason you're fleeing
     Dm
The fields we hauled hay?
     A#                    F
The heat this July or the dark last December
 C                   Dm
Look in my eyes and you might remember
     A#                         F
The weed out in Norman or the Stillwater strip
 C                      Dm
Run far enough boy and you’re bound to trip


Chorus:
           A#                         F
But if you ever decide to bring your pain and your
                C                    Dm
Pride back to this side of Oklahoma City,
               A#
There’ll be a porch light on,
          F
From the post you leaned on
            C                             Dm
Before you wound up on the wrong side of pity,
A#                             F
Often times I pray for you and often times I don’t,
           C
Is it the goodbyes that haunt you or
     Dm
The fear of new hellos
 A#                        F
Never stay long cause you won’t stop your
         C
Running wait for tomorrow
         Dm
Until tomorrow’s not coming.
