Time to Stay Home
by Jerry Jeff Walker

Intro:
E F#m G#m F#m E F#m G#m F#m


E                  F#m                 G#m F#m          
  This is the time     to be cautious
E              C#m                      F#m    B
   This is the time       to be smart
E                         F#m          G#m       F#m          
   It’s a time to consider     all the options
    E           C#m          F#m    B
Be careful with games of the heart
        A              G#m      F#m     E
It’s a time for young fellas to carry umbrellas
     A               G#m         F#m           E
And considerin’ the climate, you really might find it
    F#m           B            E
The right time to just stay at home


It's dangerous out on the freeway, its dangerous out in the bars
Everybody's mad at somebody, its dangerous to drink and drive cars
Whiskey's bad for your liver, but when you consider
The condition of water, well a man really oughta 
Abstain for the night and stay home


      G#m                   C#m
Well, AIDS is to real to be foolish, 
      G#m                          C#m
It’s changed all the rules we play by
  F#m                  B
A man can't take those chances 
   F#m             B
In other peoples' pants
         A             F#M       B
It’s too risky to just casually try

INSTRUMENTAL

And night after night of
The social high five club
Leaves me believin’ I’d find more relief in
Some Earl Klugh and refuge of home

So I’m goin’ turn off my porch light
Next I’m gonna unplug the phone
I’ll slip into the robe and my jammies
A nice fire to warm up the bones
I might write a letter
But what I like better
Is taking this guitar down
And play me an old song
That makes me feel glad I stayed home.
Yes, some (??) nights I feel glad I stayed home
