Every now an then I take a journey I look to the horizon and I am drawn
Am C G
5000 Miles away in the West my sons were born
G Am G D
She’s got their birthdays and they’ve got their toys
Am C G
And in the end I just wanna be with my boys
G C Am D G C Am D
We did homework and we went places When other kids play I see their faces
G C D G C Am D
I remember the times they arrived Always a Morning, a quick panicked drive

G C Am D
Now their gone and I’ve moved on I tried so hard to get along
G C Am D
But that’s the way it has to be, I’m coming back some day you’ll see!
G Am G D Am C G
She’s in the box seat, and she’s having her fun And in the end I just wanna be with my sons
G C A D G C A D
I feel whole when I get near Leaving that place is my biggest fear,
G C D Am C G
But I get a week and I feel OK The worst time for me is Christmas day
G Am G D
She’s got their birthdays and they’ve got their toys
Am C G
And in the end I just wanna be with my boys
G C Am D G C Am D
The bus is winding through the desert night Twelve more hours til my Melbourne flight
G C Am D Am C G
I feel I’m leaving my soul in Town And I can’t cry, if I do I’ll drown
C Am D G C Am D
But you’ve got hope and in the end, You know those three little men are your best friends!
