[Verse 1]
A Amaj7/G#
Woman, get your head out of curlers, time to get your butt out of bed,
A7/G D
Get down your hats, and your baggage, my child,
Bm7 E E4
Going back home, getting back to the homestead-------!
[Verse 2]
A Amaj7/C#
I'm a - gonna heat me some water, put a shine upon my shoes,
A7/G D
Telephone my Ma, "Keep the room above Joe's!,

'Cause we're coming back, coming back to the homestead!",

Everything is packed, getting back to the homestead--------,

This time, this time we'll stay-----------, baby!
[Chorus]
A A7/G D D/C# Bm7 D A
I know that we could have made it, we had ideas in our heads,
Asus2 A A7/G D D/C# Bm7 D A
And I wish somehow we could have saved it, but we're Gasoline Alley bred,
Asus2 A A7/G D D/C# Bm7 D A
Yet the... years haven't really been wasted, and I know it in my head,
Asus2 A A7/G D D/C# D/A
We did good for the life that we've tasted, 'cause we're Gasoline Alley,
Dm A Amaj7/G#
Gasoline Alley Bred!

A Amaj7/G#
Woman, can you really believe it? I did everything a man could do,
A7/G D
Breaking my back just to make us a dime,
Bm7 E E4
That don't mean a damn, when no one wants to know you-----!
[Verse 4]
A Amaj7/G#
Woman, I know how you're feeling, I've seen the hurt upon your face,
A7/G D
How many times do you think that I've cried?
Bm7 E
Knowing every day that your heart was getting broken,
Bm7 E Bm
Holding back your pride, 'til you were nearly choking,
Bm C#m D E E4
Oh----, oh - oh - oh, let's get a - way--------, baby!
