Billy Joe Shaver - Evergreen Fields lyrics

To evergreen fields of my youth I go singin' My steps left no footprints behind No fruit of the harvest lent weight to my pockets Small knowledge was stored in my mind Now youth has forsaken this old man My seasons are numbered by three No seeds have been sown in the plowed fields No harvest is waiting for me A cripple for life is the fate of a loner No fruit will be borne by his tree These thoughts pierce my mind While in echoes of memories A small voice too late calls to me Come run through my green fields, you old man Search beyond your windowsill Go touch my high mountains and valleys Come sleep 'neath my evergreen fields
