Verse 2
Oh, but we won't talk (D flat major) about that
'cause it's understood
Everybody sees the bad,
but what about the good?
Oh, I'd (G flat minoraj7) give anything just to smell that scent
Of (E flat minor7) honeysuckle growin' (A flat9sus4) on a backyard fence
(D flat major) Way back home, now
Chorus 1
Oh, have to say it, y'all (D flat major) (Way back home)
Yeah, way back home
(Way back...) Yeah, back home, back home
I'd love to (G flat minoraj7) smell the wetness
of grass and trees
And (E flat minor7) see flowers kissed (A flat9sus4) by honey bees
Like (D flat major) way back home, now
Verse 3
Oh, but childhood (D flat major) days are dead 'n gone
Well, but the memories still linger on
Oh, have you (G flat minoraj7) ever gone swimmin'
in a muddy creek
With (E flat minor7) nothin' on your body (A flat9sus4) from head to feet?
(D flat major) Way back home, yeah
Verse 4
Oh, what (D flat major) happened to the games
like hide-and-seek?
Yeah, and sneak through the reeds,
over near the streams.
Well, I (G flat minoraj7) know some kids still play those games
But (E flat minor7) when they play it (A flat9sus4) just ain't the same
Like (D flat major) way back home
Chorus 2
Sad to think (D flat major) it's gone (...back home)
Yeah, way back home, way back home
(Way back home) Oh yeah
Oh, I really (G flat minoraj7) miss those things
that have faded away
I re (E flat minor7) member them like it (A flat9sus4) was yesterday
Now, (D flat major) way back home
Solo 1
(D flat major) (Way back home) (D flat major) (D flat major) (Way back home) (D flat major)
(G flat minoraj7) (E flat minor7) (A flat9sus4) (D flat major) (D flat major)
Verse 5
Oh, when the (D flat major) Lord decides to take me away
Hey, let me rest in the land
where I used to play
Oh, you know I (G flat minoraj7) miss
that passing ice cream truck
And the (E flat minor7) things that were part
of (A flat9sus4) my growing up
(D flat major) Way back home
Solo 2
(D flat major) (Way back home) (D flat major) (D flat major) (Way back home) (D flat major)
(G flat minoraj7) (E flat minor7) (A flat9sus4) (D flat major) (D flat major)
[Repeat and fade]
