I got no home i can go back to
I got no one to call a friend
I can't find the place i started
I can only guess how it will end.
Chorus:
Keep them hounds off my trail
These jailers off my back
Get these bracelets off of me
A little rain to hide my track.
There's no whiskey in the jar
I'm so dry i need a drink.
I need a place to lay my head down
I need to find some time to think.
Chorus
That old river keeps on rolling
And old hannah won't go down.
I can't give back what i ain't taken
And i won't give up, if i ain't found.
I have nothing i can offer
I'm like a dog without a bone;
But if there's someone up there listening
There's a poor boy out here alone.
Chorus
