Lyrics
I left New York in 1949
To go across the country without a damn plain dime
Montana in the cold, cold fall
Found my father in a gambling hall
Father, father, where have you been?
I've been out in the world since I was only ten
Father, father, where have you been?
I've been out in the world since I was only ten
Don't worry about me
I'm about to die of pleurisy
Cross the Mississippi
Cross the Tennessee
Cross the Niobrara
Home I'll never be
Home in old Pandora
Home in old Truckee
Apalachicola
Home I'll never be
For better or for worse
I think and fear
Not being married to the little woman
God, he loves me (God, he loves me)
Just like I love him (Just like I love him)
I want you to do (I want you to do)
Just the same for him (Just the same for him)
Well, the worms eat away
But the worry walks away
So I left Montana on an old freight train (on an old freight train)
The night my father died in the cold
Cold rain (in the cold, cold rain)
Road to Opelousas
Road to Wounded Knee
Road to old Delilah
Home I'll never be
Road to Oklahoma
Road to El Cajon
Road to old Tehachapi
Road to San Antone
Road to Opelousas
Road to Wounded Knee
Road to old Delilah
Home I'll never be
Road to Oklahoma
Road to El Cajon
Road to old Tehachapi
Road to San Antone
Home I'll never be
Home I'll never be
Home I'll never be
Home I'll never be
