I'm afraid to go home, i'm afraid to go home
Worries on my mind, afraid of what i'll find
Will my family be gone? i'm afraid to go home
Tennessee, afraid of what i'll see
As i walk down this dusty road, got a heart with a heavy load
One thing that's the same, so much sorrow and pain
Headin' home in a single file, every inch is a quarter mile
Ain't heard nobody sing, ain't seen one livin' thing
Someone's waitin' for me, honey sweet as candy
Wanna hold her tight; lord, make her be all right
Maybe 'round on next bend, all the ashes of land
Valleys will be green instead of what i've seen
I'm afraid for the scrubby pine, for the sweet honey
Suckle vinei'm afraid for my home, for the fields that i roamed
Kick along down a homeward road, and your heart's gotta take the load
I'm afraid to go home, i'm afraid to go home
Sherman's been in my town, burned it all to the ground
Now there's not a tree 'tween memphis and the sea
There's not a tree 'tween memphis and the sea
