Oh the reddish days seem to warm my bones and the whiskey women from the ragged homes I cannot describe oh the purple mess of a dead racehorse I witness I've been looking for a friend for so long now I'm beginning to believe he's gone So take me back where I came from Take me back where I came from Oh the rebel lines and the worm soaked holes and the cars outside oh they will never know I cannot describe all the worthless roads taken by the eager and bold I've been looking for a friend for so long now I'm beginning to believe he's gone So take me back where I came from Take me back where I came from
