| 1977 | C | F | |
| I guess it | all blew up in Missoula |
| C | G7 | C | |
| There just | was no | other | way |
| F | C | G7 | C | |
| After | months of goin' crazy, there was | nothin' | left to | say |
| Am | |
| But when the | dust had finally settled |
| D7 | |
| And the | air had quickly cleared |
| F | G7 | C | C7 | |
| Whoa, things were better | off than I had fe | ared |
| Chorus: |
| F | C | |
| (And I,) | Miss you so badly, | girl I love you madly |
| G | C | C7 | |
| Feelin' so sad now since I been | gone, gone, g | one |
| F | C | |
| It gets quite confusin', | it seems that I'm loosin' |
| G | C | |
| Track of the long days since I been | home |
| We're stayin' in a Holiday Inn full of surgeons |
| I guess they meet there once a year |
| They exchange physician's stories |
| And get drunk on Tuborg beer |
| And then they're off to catch a stripper |
| With their eyes glued to her "G" |
| But I don't think that I would ever let 'em cut on me |
| Chorus: |
| (And I,) Miss you so badly, girl I love you madly |
| I think I've been had though for stayin' so long, long, long |
| And I'm, just watchin' the Gong Show, waitin' for Zorro |
| Losin' the long days since I been home |
| (Solo) |
| I got a head full of feelin' higher |
| And an ear full of Patsy Cline |
| There is just no one who can touch her |
| Hell, I'll hang on every line |
| Oh, crazy how things happen, it's incredible but true |
| The longer I'm gone the closer I feel to you |
| Chorus: |
| (And I,) Miss you so badly, girl I love you madly |
| I'm feelin' so glad just to be headin' home, home, home |
| I've been, battlin' motel maids, and chewin' on Rolaids |
| Countin' the hours till I get home |
| Whoa I been, countin' the hours till I get home |
