1. Well, I'm-a going back down maybe one more time,
F Bb C
deep down home, October Road.
C G Am
And I might like to see that little friend of mine
F Bb C
that I left behind once upon a time.
C G Am
Oh, promised land and me still standing,
F Bb C
it's a test of time, it's a real good sign.
G C F
Let the sun run down right behind the hill,
G C F
I know how to stand there still
G C F G - F
till the moon rise up right behind the pine, oh Lord.

2. It's the big-time life that I can't abide,
F Bb C
raise my rent, tan my hide.
C G Am
Sweet call of the countryside,
F Bb C
go down slow, open wide.
C G Am
I did my time, and it changed my mind,
F Bb C
I'm satisfied, oh ho.
G C F
I got so low down, fed up,
G C F
my God, I could hardly move.

Won't you come on, my brother, get on up
