[Intro 1]
[F][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Lights are shining bright,
it's always downtown on the road
I have [Am]friends that come from outta
town asking me to go
They say, "There's so [F]much going on
Why don't you come along
and show us [C]around?"

[Verse 2]
[F]
[C]I tell them Karen's not feeling well
so I probably shouldn't go out
Be[G]sides I've [Am]got ta fix a list of things
I need to do around the house
Then [F]I hang up the phone,
turn the radio back on, and sit back [C]down
I know [G]my boy ain't here
but he [F]ain't gone
[C]In the

[Verse 3]
morning I wake up,
give her a kiss, head to the kitchen
[G]Pou[Am]r a cup of wake-me-up and and
and try to rouse up some ambition
[G]Go out[F]side,
sit by myself but I [G]ain't alone
I've got the [F]Father, my [G]son,
and the [C]Holy Ghost

[Verse 4]
I've been [C]beat up, I been pushed and shoved
but never ever really knocked down
[G]Between [Am]mom and dad,
Uncle Sam and friends I somehow always pulled out
[F]But the pain of this was more
Than I'd ever felt before, yeah [C]I was broke

[Verse 5]
I [C]cried, and cried,
and cried until I passed out on the floor
[G]Then [Am]I prayed, and prayed,
and prayed till I thought I couldn't pray anymore
And [F]minute by minute, day by day,
my God, He gave me [C]hope
I know [Dm]my boy ain't he[C]re
but he [F]ain't gone

[Verse 6]
In the [C]mornings I wake up,
give her a kiss, head to the kitchen
[G]Pou[Am]r a cup of wake-me-up and and
and try to rouse up some ambition
[G]Go out[F]side,
sit by myself but I [G]ain't alone
See, I've got the [F]Father, my [G]son,
and the [C]Holy Ghost

[Verse 7]
[F]I hope, I love, I pray, I cry
[G]I heal a little more each day inside
[Am]I won't completely hea[G]l
till [C]I g[F]o home

[Verse 8]
In the morn[C]ing I wake up,
give her a kiss, head to the kitchen
[G]Pou[Am]r a cup of wake-me-up and and
and try to rouse up some ambition
[G]Go out[F]side,
sit by myself but I [G]ain't alone
I've got the [F]Father, my [G]son,
and the [C]Holy Ghost
One [F]day I'll wake up and I'll [G]be home
With the [F]Father, my [G]son, and the Holy Ghost
