Dirt roads and dryland farming might be the death of me
But i can't leave this world behind
My debts are not like prisons where there's hope of getting free
And i can't leave this world behind

I've been from here to lawrence, kansas
Trying to leave my state of mind
Trying to leave this awful sadness
But i can't leave this world behind

South of delia there's a patch out back by the willow trees
And i can't leave this world behind
It's a fenced-in piece of nothin' where i hear voices on my knees
And i can't leave this world behind

Some prophecies are self-fulfilling
I've had to work for all of mine
Better times will come to me, god-willing
Cause i can't leave this world behind

This world must be frightening, everybody's on the run
And i can't leave this world behind
My house is a wooden one and it's built on a wooden one
Seems i can't leave this world behind

Preacher says that when the master calls us
He's gonna give us wings to fly
My wings are made of hay and corn husks
So i can't leave this world behind
