How am i ganna take it
These goddamn pains everyday
My minds made up I'm dieing
But i'm to stubborn to care
Wanna go home darlin
Wanna take you there
Lay you down in the sunshine
And watch the sun go down
Across your pretty face
I love you to death
Lost so many friends now
i'm startin to forget about them all the time
But nothing makes me smile more
Than helpin a good friend out
Wanna go home darlin
Wanna take you there
Lay you down in the sunshine
And watch the sun go down
Across your pretty face
I love you to death

He looked to the sky
And he saw coffins
he said look out somebody's ganna die
Pay no attention to him
He's as crazy as the birds
he's been talkin like this
For a hell of a long time
And i don't know how long it's ganna be
Before i get back home again
It's been twelve long years
I've been stuck in this place
And it's been to damn long since I've seen your face
and it's been twelve long damn years
I've been stuck in this place
I think about you all the time
He sat down next to me
And said boy what yah think
I don't know what to think anymore
Late last night two people died
It was charlies up the road
and aunt sue
And i don't know how long it's ganna be
Before i get back home again
It's been twelve long years
I've been stuck in this place
And it's been to damn long since I've seen your face
and it's been twelve long damn years
I've been stuck in this place
I think about you all the time

Back Home Tonight

I remember going over the mountain
we'd stop half way to have a drink
from a cold mountain spring
We was headed over to grampy smith's
he built that house just after
The second world war
She's a hell of a lonesome place
Sit there staring out the window for her
I want my baby back home tonight
I'm ganna make everything alright
I want my baby back home tonight
and if I'm lucky it will be alright
They just sit around and laugh all day
If that ain't love i ain't never seen it
She got sick when i was ten
The doctors could not save her
so she up and flew away
He got tired of sittin around
Lookin out the window
For her
I want my baby back home tonight
I'm ganna make everything alright
I want my baby back home tonight
and if I'm lucky it will be alright
I want my baby back home tonight
I'm ganna make everything alright
I want my baby back home tonight
and if I'm lucky it will be alright

As Long As He Did

They looked outside and he was on fire
It burnt him pretty bad
Second time in five years
He smiled the whole damn time
I don't know how he lived as long as he did
Always burning himself and breaking all them bones
I don't know how he lived as long
Always burning himself and breaking all them bones
He came up to me with the blood running legs
He said it ain't that bad
He cut er to the bone
He smiled the whole damn time
I don't know how he lived as long
Always burning himself and breaking all them bones
I don't know how he lived as long
Always burning himself and breaking all them bones

I've been walkin around this damn place
I don't know where the hell I'm at
My mind she's a slippin all the time
I feel just like the walkin dead
i feel just like the walkin dead
I've been thinkin about thinkin
about thinkin anymore
It's safe to say my minds gone to hell
I feel just like the walkin dead
i feel just like the walkin dead
I've been thinkin about headin on back to the country
Where all those wild old loopins grow
Maybe pick up where dad left off on the old farm
And sit around and watch the horses run
I feel just like the walkin dead
i feel just like the walkin dead
I feel just like the walkin dead
i feel just like the walkin dead

Sitting in this old house
It's cold and it's empty
And I've been thinking about the good times we had
He cut up his face with an old chainsaw
said how yah doing
He said oh not to bad
I don't know how long
Before i find
A good friend like him
He left two kids behind
and a beautiful women that day
Sittin in this old house
I'm drunk and alone
And I've been thinkin about the good time we had
He ain't got much time left in this old world
Everyone lost a Good friend that day
I don't know how long
Before i find
A good friend like him
He left two kids behind
and a beautiful women that day

Daddy was a hard working man
He grew up on the other side of the mountain
And she was rough and tough over there but they didn't care
Sometimes i sit around thinking about him in the days and the night
Left school when he was ten
started working the land
It wasn't very long before everybody new his name
Sometimes i sit around thinking about him in the days and the night
sometimes i sit around wonderin about hm in the days and the night
He could barley read or write
But he could do nearly any damn thing
And he helped everyone around except himself
Sometimes i sit around thinking about him in the days and the night
sometimes i sit around wondering about hm in the days and the night
Daddy was a hard working man
He grew up on the other side of the mountain
And she was rough and tough over there but they didn't care
Sometimes i sit around thinking about him in the days and the night
sometimes i sit around wondering about hm in the days and the night
Sometimes i sit around thinking about him in the days and the night

People say I'm lost and i tell them i ran away
I'm high all the time to cover up this pain
I'm a lookin for a way to get on up to them stars
Evey time i tried to run away i always end up in this place
And if my dad could only see me now
He probably turn around and walk away
Now I'm a lookin for a place i can let my hair down
And do some drinkin tonight down by old mill falls
I'm a lookin for a way to get on up to them stars
Evey time i tried to run away i always end up in this place
And if my dad could only see me now
He probably turn around and walk away

Grew up in the apple trees Annapolis valley where my daddy roamed
Way back home
Grew up in the apple trees Annapolis valley where my daddy roamed
Way back home
Grew up fast and mean didn't have a choice in this town
Way back home
I know i can't go back again
I am here until I'm dead
Grew up in the apple trees Annapolis valley where my daddy roamed
Way back home
Grew up fast and mean didn't have a choice in this town
Way back home
I know i can't go back again
I am here until I'm dead
But i know change is ganna come around
Again Again
But i know change is ganna come around
Again Again
Grew up in the apple trees Annapolis valley where my daddy roamed
Grew up fast and mean didn't have a choice in this town
Way back home
Grew up in the apple trees Annapolis valley where my daddy roamed
