[C]Momma´s apron [F]hanging in the kitchen on a [C]nail
Pappa´s old plow [F]out in the barn by the [C]bale
I see brother [F]swinging on the garden [C]gate
Momma´s calling [G7]come and get it and don´t be [C]late
Don´t be late don´t be late
When you finally make your mind up don´t be [G7]late
For they [C]wait there for you [F]mom and dad and brother too
If you [C]love ´em go and [G7]show 'em don´t be [C]late
'42 Ford [F]out in the yard in [C]rust
All my childhood [F]memories here in the [C]dust
Family bible [F]pages all faded [C]away
We all have longed [G7]to go back home some[C]day
Don´t be late don´t be late
When you finally make your mind up don´t be [G7]late
For they [C]wait there for you [F]mom and dad and brother too
If you [C]love ´em go and [G7]show 'em don´t be [C]late
Standing here looking [F]back at the place [C]again
Headed down that [F]lonesome road [C]again
Momma and daddy [F]buried upon that [C]hill
Tears can´t wash away the [G7]sorrow that I [C]feel
Don´t be late don´t be late
When you finally make your mind up don´t be [G7]late
For they [C]wait there for you [F]mom and dad and brother too
If you [C]love ´em go and [G7]show 'em don´t be [C]late
Momma´s apron hanging in the kitchen on a nail
Pappa´s old plow out in the barn by the bale
I see brother swinging on the garden gate
Momma´s calling come and get it and don´t be late
Don´t be late don´t be late
When you finally make your mind up don´t be late
For they wait there for you mom and dad and brother too
If you love ´em go and show 'em don´t be late
'42 Ford out in the yard in rust
All my childhood memories here in the dust
Family bible pages all faded away
We all have longed to go back home someday
Don´t be late don´t be late
When you finally make your mind up don´t be late
For they wait there for you mom and dad and brother too
If you love ´em go and show 'em don´t be late
Standing here looking back at the place again
Headed down that lonesome road again
Momma and daddy buried upon that hill
Tears can´t wash away the sorrow that I feel
Don´t be late don´t be late
When you finally make your mind up don´t be late
For they wait there for you mom and dad and brother too
If you love ´em go and show 'em don´t be late
