Lyrics:
Once there were greenfields kissed by the sun;
Once there were valleys where rivers used to run;
Once there was blue sky with white clouds high

yeah
eight days a week with my baby at home
and you know that she's my tender honey
baby
Berry
I left my home in Norfolk, Virginia
California on my mind
I straddled that Greyhound and rode him
Into Raleigh and on across Caroline
We
By the shores of Gitche Gumee
By the shining Big Sea Water
Downward through the evening twilight
In the days that are forgotten
From the land
Well I left my home out on the great High Plains
Headed for some new terrain
Standin' on the highway with my coffee cup
A' Wonderin' who was gonna
Well I left my home out on the great High Plains
Headed for some new terrain
Standin' on the highway with my coffee cup
A' Wonderin' who was gonna
I was only dreaming of you
There is nothing that I'd rather do
In my daydreams, you are by my side
In my nightmares, this is all a lie
Take me away
the kitchen and I don't know why
Caught my aunt smoking crack and she got a black eye
Living on Focus: HOPE and we tryna get by
Sippin' on WIC juice, wash it
Got a picture of your house and you're standing by the door
It's black and white and faded and it's looking pretty worn
I see the factory that I
Out of focus
Didn't take a second to notice
Now we're separated by oceans, vast
Couldn't make this last
I wish I'd have stayed
'Cause love can
Who's that knockin' on my door?
(Old man trouble)
I know you've been here before
(Old man trouble)
You called my good girl to leave home
(Old
the stone away, let the guilty pay
On Independence Day
Well she lit up the sky the fourth of July
By the time that the firemen came
They just put out
designed to render funkable
Ideas brought to you by the makers of Mr. Prolong
Better known as Urge Overkill
The pimping of the Pleasure Principle
Oh,
I know
I'm never gon' be home to you
I'm never gon' be home by 2
I'll never be this perfect glue
That pulls together what you choose
But I keep
Wander in the darkness
Far away from home
Lost and disconnected
Tired and alone
She beckoned me with weary eyes
Set deep within her battered skull
of more
But tonight, don't cry
For Samantha, mother and bride
As she holds a black and white photograph
That fades away
She still works the farm
And she
Sonny always remembers, what it was his moma said
Chorus
Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
And your daddy's a sailor, and he never comes home
away and I say
Blue eyes holdin' back the tears
Holdin' back the pain
Baby's got, blue eyes
And she's alone, again
Blue eyes
Baby's got, blue
come home to Maria
Where else would I go?
Cross the river to die by myself
Down In old Mexico
It's just the border, y'know
I've been away from you for far too long
Too much chances make my heart go frantic
I want to tell you what's been goin' on,
Operator give me
Jumping Jack Flash it's a gas gas gas
I was raised by a toothless bearded hag
I was schooled with a strap right across my back
But it's alright now in
On my way back home, by chance I thought of
All my favorite songs, where I'd gone wrong
The only words that I could think of
I'm pissing my life
rollin' hills
Wild West Virginia
I get this Wheelin' feelin', singin' like Slim Whitman
Oh how I wanna go home
Away from them big city slickers, skinny
on this shit
('Cause this pain inside)
(It never seems to pass me) see I feel even more trapped
(I said it never seems to pass me by)
Yeah
Where'd we
