Old Crow Medicine Show - A World Away lyrics

I’m a world away, right outside your window I got money in my pocket and I brought a nice bottle of wine I think I’m on the list, do you see my name there? I’ve come a long hard way and I’m lookin’ for a better time Oh well I tried to get over and I tried to get across Now I’m standin’ at the door but the door is locked I can see those pretty gals [?] through the door I can hear that music from the radio I’m a world away I’m a world away Standin’ at the gates With my suitcase But I’m a world away Hey it’s a real nice place, do you need some help here? I can sleep, I can paint, I can play a little violin If you let me stay, oh you won’t need to worry I’ll be the life of the party if you just let me slip on in Oh girl I wade through the river and I marched through the sand Now I standin’ at the gates of the Promised Land Oh but you say that you gotta leave ’em locked up tight If you please [?] I’ll sleep out here tonight I’m a world away I’m a world away Standin’ at the gates With my suitcase But I’m a world away How can you know the hard times I’ve had? Kept in [?] and almost left for dead I got a needle streakin’ in my veins I’ve come to [?] But I’m a world away, right outside your window I got money in my pocket and I brought a nice bottle of wine I think I’m on the list, do you see my name there? I’ve come a long hard way and I’m lookin’ for a better time I’m a world away I’m a world away Standin’ at the gates With my suitcase But I’m a world away I’m a world away Standin’ at the gates With my suitcase But I’m a world away
