Marauder

I left my home younger than my family would've wanted

And not cause I was angry no or nothing

It was all I could see was monotony

And the highway knew my name

And she was calling

She was calling

There's a freight liner coming to steal away my mind

And take me to whatever comfort I may find

There's a freight liner coming to steal away my mind

And take me to whatever comfort I may find

My mother said to me as I turned to leave

What demons bereave you so?

Go if you must go

In the morning you'll know

Come back one day and please stay or don't come back at all!

She said marauder, marauder, don't you be like your father

Marauder, marauder, please be a better man

Marauder, marauder, don't you be like your father

Marauder, marauder, don't you leave no tracks to find

A kind man took me to his farm

Gave me a place to sleep

But his daughter had eyes for me

I was thinking I may keep

Well the night had come, the moon was young

And she was warm beside me

Went to the house to fetch my gun

But her father saw right through me

Said: I was kind to you I gave you food and still you want more

I lost my wife I don't need no sons

So leave me alone at my door!

Marauder, marauder, stay away from daughter

Marauder, marauder, don't you take her from my land

Marauder, marauder, stay away from my daughter

Don't you take her from me even though I know you can

So I left home and I was stoned walked toward a line of steel

Drank some moonshine I should be blind

Guess the devil and I had a deal

Cause I woke up cold but not quite dead

With the demons of hell thrashing round in my head

I looked to see what had become of me

I met the boot of an rcmp

He said marauder, marauder, don't you even bother

Marauder, marauder, you ain't welcome in this town

Marauder, marauder, don't you even bother

There ain't nothing here but a grave for you to find

Well oh where oh where is the big rock candy mountain

All I seem to find is a bridge and a bottle of gin

Some pretty girl turned up my chin

And a mind that won't stop wandering

Mind that won't stop wandering

So light em up and smash em down

Let's get fucked up and leave this town

Grab your dog, grab your backpack

I'll meet you south-side of the main track

So light em up and smash em down

Let's get fucked up and we'll leave this town

Grab your dog, grab your backpack

I'll meet you south-side of the main track

Marauders, marauders, ride on, keep moving

My sisters my brothers, marauders, marauders
