Lay back in the tall grassLast night I called homeI walked down to the railyardAnd the misty great elmHeaven showed me her mercyThrew my bag insideOn the old number sevenI watched the sun riseI hear that bull comingI pray he takes heedMy visions of motherAre all that I seeThat bull up in ClevelandGave me a broke armDear Lord let him spare meI wish him no harmMy breath full of cindersThe wind blows me coldThe sounds of that freight trainIn my body are oldTwenty-three years nowI've not seen my homeTomorrow is Christmas And she's all alone--- CarolinaI'm wishing her backSongtexteAcross two thousand -- milesOf standard guage trackOne last sip of whiskeyTo warm these old boneWe just hit KentuckyIn daylight I'm home Aus Songtexte Mania
