Sittin' here, thousand miles from nowhere In this one room country little shack Sittin' 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 'bout midnight People, I just can't sleep no more I wake up every night 'bout midnight People, I just can't sleep no more
Only crickets and frogs to keep me company And the wind howlin' 'round my door I'm gonna leave here early in the mornin' I'm 'bout to go out of my mind I'm gonna leave here early in the mornin' I'm 'bout 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
