Take Em Away |
| Chorus: |
| Take ‘em away, take ‘em away, Lord |
| Take away these chains from me |
| My heart is broken ‘cause my spirit’s not free |
| Lord take away these chains from me |
| Some birds' feathers are too bright to be caged |
| I know I’m not that colorful but a bird just the same |
| Open up your gate now, let me put down my load |
| So I can feel at ease and go back to my home |
| (Chorus) |
| Sun beatin' down, my legs can’t seem to stand |
| There’s a boss man at a turnrow with a rifle in his hand |
| I’ve got nine child, nothin' in the pan |
| My wife she died hungry while I was plowin' land |
| (Chorus) |
| Can’t see when I go to work, can’t see when I get off |
| How do you expect a man not to get lost |
| Every year I just keep getting deeper in debt |
| If there’s a happy day, Lord, I haven’t seen one yet |
| (Chorus) |
| Land that I love is the land that I’m workin' |
| But it’s hard to love it all the time when your back is a-hurtin' |
| Gettin' too old now to push this here plow |
| Please let me lay down so I can look at the clouds |
| (Chorus) |
| Land that I know is where two rivers collide |
| The Brazos the Navaso and the big blue sky |
| Flood plains, freight trains, watermelon vines |
| Of any place on God’s green earth, this is where I choose to die |
| (Chorus) |
