[Intro]
[G] [C] [G] [D]

[Verse 1]
Mamma's tears fell so [G] easy [C] [G] Daddy's handshake was [C] strong. . .
Then I climbed aboard that [D] Grey[G]hound [D] Eighteen and glad to be [G] gone. [D]

[Verse 2]
Took a rented room on [G] Broadw[C]ay [G] As I unpacked everything I [C] owned.
I found a note my mamma [D] left [G] me [D] With a Bible and a bus ticket [G] home.

|[CHORUS]
|(Spoken)It Said,
|One will get you where you're [C] going When you haven't got a [G] prayer.
|And one will bring you [D] back, [G] son [D] If your dreams ain't waiting
|[G] there. . .
|You're out on your [C] own now We won't be there to fall [G] back on. . .
|But you know we're never [Am] fart[G]her [C] Than a Bible and a [D] bus ticket
|[G] home. [C] [G] [D]

[Verse 3]
The years have come and gone and [G] taken [C] The [G] only things in life I
ever counted [C] on. . .
But I'm going back to[D]mor[G]row [D] To lay flowers on their [G] stone. [D]

[Verse 4]
I can almost hear my mamma [G] call[C]ing [G] Saying, son come back where you
[C] belong. . .
You've got all you need to [D] get[G] here [D] A Bible and a bus ticket [G] home.

|[CHORUS]
|(Spoken) It said,
|One will get you where you're [C] going When you haven't got a [G] prayer.
|And one will bring you [D] back [G], son [D] If your dreams ain't waiting
|[G] there. . .
|You're out on your [C] own now We won't be there to fall [G] back on. . .
|But you know we're never [Am] fart[G]her [C] Than a Bible and a [D] bus ticket
|[G] home.

[Outro]
Boy, you know we're never [Am] fart[G]her. .[C] .
Than a Bible and a [D] bus ticket [G] home. [C] [G]
