Back porch crawling on a dixie line I dont even know if the place will ever be mine Oh there coming to take it away Oh there coming to take it away The bills are pilling up on the porch All I can do myself is think of you Oh there coming to take it all away Oh there coming to take it all away Back porch crawling on a dixie line I dont even know about this mind of mine Oh there coming, coming to take it away Oh there coming, coming to take it away When they arrive I head to the woods Running from the house does me absolutely no good Oh there coming, coming to take me away Oh there coming, coming to take me away 60ft other side of the creek I see them with their shining badges Thinking of taking me away Oh there coming, coming to take me away I hear the dogs, Im not looking back I heard the bullet, but it came so fast Oh theyre coming, but theyre not gonna take me away Oh theyre coming, but theyre not gonna take me away My mind is gone my body is past, but Im feeling strong They haul body into the truck Back to the city where they said I had ran out of luck They think they are taking me away They think they are taking me away I will stay on this land and roam I will make this house a home Until the lord, comes down and takes me away Until the lord, comes down and takes me away Until the lord, comes down and takes me away Only the lord knows if I should stay Come and take me away Come and take me away If you want To try Oh bring it on Come on and take me away Oh bring it on Come on and take me away See if I will stay See if I will stay
