Lawrence, KS |
| Dirt roads and dryland farming |
| Might be the death of me |
| But I can’t leave this world behind |
| And my debts are not like prison |
| Where there’s hope of getting free |
| Oh, but I can’t leave this world behind |
| And I’ve been from here to Lawrence, Kansas |
| Trying to leave my state of mind |
| Trying to leave this awful sadness |
| But I can’t leave this world behind |
| South of Delia, there’s a patch |
| Out back by the willow trees |
| Oh, I can’t leave this world behind |
| It’s a fenced in piece of nothing |
| I hear voices on my knees |
| And I can’t leave this world behind |
| Some prophecies are self-fulfilling |
| But I’ve had to work for all of mine |
| Better times will come to me, God willing |
| 'Cause I can’t leave this world behind |
| This world must be frightening |
| Everybody’s on the run |
| And I can’t leave this world behind |
| And my house is a wooden one |
| And it’s built on a wooden one |
| Seems I can’t leave this world behind |
| Preacher says that when the master calls us |
| He’s going to give us wings to fly |
| But my wings are made of hay and corn husks |
| So I can’t leave this world behind |
