There ain't nothin' left for me here, I gotta get out
Spent the better part of twenty-nine years just tryin' to get out
Got no one runnin' after me
Pray these two feet carry me south
Then out of the corner of my eye, you're lookin' at me
I've got wanderlust all painted on my thigh, you're weak in the knees
Let's leave town by the frontage road
Follow the sound of the blackest crow south
Would that you were goin' away and I was goin' with you
I'd sit myself right down, and I'd lace up my travelin' shoes
If I lose you down the road, would you look over your shoulder?
I'll be there to have and hold you
We've only traveled seventeen miles, you wanna turn back
Don't leave your little girl in the wild, the sky's turnin' black
Play tug-o-war till the mornin' comes
Find the road, stick out your thumb
Hold it there, if no one comes, just run
Got no one runnin' after me
Pray these two feet carry me
Would that you were goin' away and I was goin' with you
I'd sit myself right down, and I'd lace up my travelin' shoes
If I lose you down the road, would you look over your shoulder?
I'll be there to have and hold you
My rations runnin' low and I'm alone when I hit the state line
Turnin' back is the only way to go, back to what's mine
I'll die in the bed that I was born in
Gone from this world without warnin', babe
Would that you were goin' away and I was goin' with you
I'd sit myself right down, and I'd lace up my travelin' shoes
If I lose you down the road, would you look over your shoulder?
I'll be there to have and hold you
Would that you were goin' away and I was goin' with you
I'd sit myself right down, and I'd lace up my travelin' shoes
If I lose you down the road, would you look over your shoulder?
I'll be there to have and hold you
