Key of G
Intro: G C D G C D
[G]Crack of dawn I hit the road,[C] s[G]et my shoulders for the heavy load
Coffee le[C]aking through the paper s[G]ack[C][G]
[G]The foreman says I'm late again, [C]he[G] can't stand it when I only grin
He's got me e[C]ight hours, she's got me after t[G]hat[C][G]
I [D]can't wait 'til it's quittin' time
[D]She got something cookin' for me tonight.
Chorus
She keeps the h[G]omefires bur[C]ning[D]
While I'm out ear[Am7]ning a living in a world[G]
That's kn[C]own for its pouring rain[D]
She keeps the h[G]omefire[C]s burning[D]
[Am7]Ooh and it's her warm[D] loving that keeps [G]me [CG]returning again
[G] [C] [D] [G]
[G]Out of gas, just my luck,[C] f[G]our bald tires on my pickup truck
No more c[C]redit on my credit c[G]ard[C][G]
[G]When I come home and hit that door I remember what these aching arms are
for
She's my o[C]ne light when the world goes da[G]rk[C][G]
[D]Tomorrow it's the same old grind
But she'll be burning in my mind
