She Keeps The Home Fires Burning Chords & Lyrics - Ronnie Milsap

[G]Crack of dawn I hit the road set my shoulders for the heavy load

Coffee [C]leaking through the paper [G]sack

The foreman says I'm late again he can't stand it when I only grin

He's got me [C]eight hours she's got me after [G]that

I [D7]can't wait 'til it's quitting time

She got something cooking for me tonight

She keeps the [G]home [C]fires [D7]burning

While I'm [Am]out earning a living in a [G]world

That's [C]known for its pouring [D7]rain

She keeps the [G]home [C]fires [D7]burning

Ooh and it's [Am]her warm [D7]loving that [C]keeps me returning [G]again


Out of gas just my luck four bald tires on my pickup truck

No more [C]credit on my credit [G]card


When I come home and hit that door I remember what

These aching arms are for

She's my [C]one light when the world goes [G]dark

[D7]Tomorrow it's the same old grind

But she'll be burning in my mind

She keeps the [G]home [C]fires [D7]burning

While I'm [Am]out earning a living in a [G]world

That's [C]known for its pouring [D7]rain

She keeps the [G]home [C]fires [D7]burning

Ooh and it's [Am]her warm [D7]loving that [C]keeps me returning [G]again
