Sister i'm heading out of alabama |
|
So you better think fast |
|
The wind is gonna pick me up now |
|
And the rain won't slack |
|
I'm heading down to georgia |
|
So don't lose track |
|
Of where you've been and where you're going now |
|
Who you've seen and what they lack |
|
And why you come undone |
|
Every time you go there |
|
You come undone |
|
Yeah |
|
Yeah |
|
I know your heart's in danger |
|
And so is your life |
|
I said you learn to trust a stranger |
|
And stop and rest for the night |
|
Set your sight up in the headlight |
|
Well the moon won't be enough |
|
(sister) |
|
And light the embers of another |
|
And the night won't won't seem so rough |
|
Sister |
|
Ah |
|
There was a bloody beast of burden |
|
(i wish i was a mother) |
|
On a dark texas road |
|
(with a baby at my breast) |
|
A woman in a family way |
|
(i am just a farmer) |
|
And a car that lost control |
|
(with a milkcow and a mess) |
|
I'm studying the distance |
|
(i wish i was a mother) |
|
Between the blanket and the gun |
|
(with a baby at my breast) |
|
I got ten hours to natchez |
|
(i am just a farmer) |
|
And another ten home |
|
(with a milkcow and a mess) |
|
Well i'm goin' home |
|
Yes |
|
I know your heart's in danger |
|
(sister) |
|
And so is your life |
|
(sister) |
|
I say learn to trust a stranger |
|
(learn to trust) |
|
And stop and rest for the night |
|
Set your sight up in the headlight |
|
Yeah the moon won't be enough |
|
And light the embers of another |
|
And the night won't seem so rough |
|
Sister |
|
Go ahead |
|
I said come on |
|
Ah oh yeah |
|
Ah oh yeah |
|
Ah oh yeah |
|
Ah oh yeah |
|
I said it's trust that brought me here |
|
And trust will bring me home |
