Sitting here thousand miles from nowhere

In this one room country little shack

Sitting here thousand miles from nowhere

In this one room country little shack

My only worldly possession is a ragged

Ol leven foot cotton sack

I wake up every night about midnight

People i just can't sleep no more

I wake up every night about midnight

People i just can't sleep no more

Only crickets and frogs to keep me company

And the wind howling round my door

I'm gonna leave here early in the morning

I'm about to go out of my mind

I'm gonna leave here early in the morning

I'm about to go out of my mind

I'm gonna find me some kind of a companion

Even if she's dumb deaf cripple and blind
