Clay listen close to what your brother says
Bm A G
My momma stood awaitin' by the door

While daddy he was way off in the woods
Bm A G
He never saw his boy alive no more
[Verse]

When Clay and Ottie came to work in Cleveland
Bm A G
It was hard to find a job in thirty-two

Then Ottie came down sick and Clay was helpless
Bm A G
To stop his greatest fear from comin' true
[Chorus]

Home is all I have left in this world to hold on to

But now they've let it go and I've nothin' left to show
Bm A G
It'll never be the same to me no more

D G
Now livin' on the farm was all we knew
Bm A G
And in my mind I see the home place still

But they said they'd rather sell and go to rentin'
Bm A G
Than leave poor Ottie in some potter's field
[Verse]
D G
My daddy never owned another farm
Bm A G
And he grew to be an old and bitter man
D A
While momma stares off down the gravel road
Bm A G
She can still see Ottie stop and wave again
[Chorus]

Home is all I have left in this world to hold on to
A G D A
But now they've let it go and I've nothin' left to show

Home is all I have left in this world to hold on to
A G D A
But now they've let it go and I've nothin' left to show

It'll never be the same to me no more
