and so I broke on down to baton
with my sorrows and regrets
found myself a barstool and a few packs of cigarettes
left louisiana dead off whiskey, wine and beer
don’t care where I end up as long as it ain‘t here
so get me back to ol’ wyoming
with the cattle and the calm
where those meadows meet them mountains
and a man can greet the dawn
(and them cowboys sing their songs)
(yes it‘s the place where I belong)
and so I rolled on down to reno with just nickels to my name
found myself a table and threw that money down the drain
got out of nevada with them big guns on my heels
don’t care where I end up as long as it ain’t here
but I can’t avoid these fears
I’ve been running from all these years
and I can’t avoid your eyes
though I try so hard to hide
and so I slipped down to savannah
my soul I set out to save
learned myself the gospel for my salvation... well lord I prayed
got out of georgia and from those preachers pushing fear
don’t care where I end up as long as it ain’t here
