Long after the last train rolled out of town I had to find out if the world was round So I left Louisiana, big city bound Looking for god knows what Mama gave me her bible and choked back the tears Said, girl, it so easy to get lost out there Every night I'll remember you in my prayers While you're looking for god knows what God knows what I was after God knows what was on my mind Every step I took fell faster Everything I left behind Turned into the greener pastures What will I find after all this time Coming back from god knows what Pride tastes bitter and dreams got hard It's tough to admit but at least that's a start
Took along way around but that old backyard Beats the devil out of god knows what God knows what I was after God knows what was on my mind Every step I took fell faster Everything I left behind Turned into the greener pastures What will I find after all this time Coming back from god knows what I was after God knows what was on my mind Every step I took fell faster Everything I left behind Turned into the greener pastures What will I find after all this time Coming back from god knows what God knows what (god knows what) God knows what
