I'm goin away, to a world unknown

Im worried now, but I won't be worried long

My rider got somethin, shes tryin a keep it hid
My rider got somethin, shes tryin a keep it hid
Lord, I got somethin to find that somethin with

I feel like choppin, chips flyin everywhere
I feel like choppin, chips flyin everywhere
I been to the Nation, oh Lord, but I couldnt stay there

Some people say them oversea blues aint bad
(Why, of course they are)
Some people say them oversea blues aint bad
(What was a-matter with em?!)
It must not a-been them oversea blues I had

Every day seem like murder here
(My God, I'm no sheriff)
Every day seem like murder here
Im gonna leave tomorrow, I know you dont bid my care

Cant go down any dirt road by myself
Cant go down any dirt road by myself
(My Lord, who ya gonna carry?)
I dont carry my (rider), gonna carry me someone else


Nation:Indian Nation (Oklahoma)
