[Verse 1]
Am
It was 29 years in dog years
Am
since i've seen my little lady
C
See I needed some space and time
G
To kill all my highway thrills
Am
And now I'm back in her own little town
Am
I've been dry and clean and I'm ready to try
C Am Em C G
This love thing again and I will never move in any direction
F C G C E G C
But she laughed and said times have changed, and there ain't no bed for you here
[Chorus]
G F C
Just hit the bell with your elbow and come in from the rain
G F C
You can promise me nothing and I will do the same
Am G D
I don't need you to fight for me and I don't need you to cry
C Em Am G F G C
Just hit the bell with your elbow, yes, and come in with your hands up high

Am
I told her I've been through a lot out there
Am
I lost my chukka playboy boots in a river by the bend
C Am
I lost my barracuda jacket in a bet gone wrong
Em C G
But through it all I heard the birds whistling your name
F C G C E G C
She laughed and said you can sneeze in a basket, still ain't no bed for you here

Or that you had no place to stay?

Which is it boy, 'cause it's cold outside, you either go or you stay
