Written by Carter Stanley

Key of D · Chords: I IV V

Verse 1

              D
I left my old home to ramble this country
              G                     D
My mother and dad said son don’t go wrong
              G               D
Remember that God will always watch o’er you
               A                    D
And we will be waiting for you here at home

Chorus

             G                    D
Son don’t go astray was what they both told me
              A                   D
Remember that love for God can be found
                     G                D
But now they’re both gone this letter just told me
    D             A
For years they’ve been dead, the fields have turned brown

Verse 2

For many long years this world I have rambled
               G                    D
No thoughts of the day when I would return
            G                    D
Now as I go home and find no one waiting
                 A                D
The price I have paid to live and to learn
