[Verse]
GDirt roads and dryland farming might be the death of me
but I cCan't leave this world beGhind
GMy debts are not like prisons where there's hope of getting free
and I cCan't leave this world beGhind
DNow I've been from here to Lawrence KanCsas
Dtrying to leave my state of mCind
Dtrying to leave this awful sCadness
but I can't leave this world Gbehind.
GSouth of Delia there's a patch out back the willow trees
but I cCan't leave this world beGhind
GIt's a fenced-in piece of nothing where I hear voices on my knees
and I cCan't leave this world beGhind
DSome prophecies are self-fulCfilling
DI've had to work for all of miCne
Dbetter times will come to me, GoCd-willing
Cause I can't leave this worldG behind.
[Accordian/guitar duet solor... fade]
GWell this world must be frightening everybody's on the run
and I cCan't leave this world beGhind
GMy house is a wooden one and it's built on a wooden one
seems I cCan't leave this world bGehind
DPreacher says that when the master cCalls us
DHe's gonna give us wings to flCy
DBut my wings are made of hay and cCorn husks
So I can't leave this world beGhind.
