I never got too far from home
Until my daddy kicked me off the farm
The lesson that I think I did learn then:
I’m never ever comin’ home again
I’m never ever comin’ home again
The whole thing happen just the way it should
Fell into some people
Who could not do me no good
But "good" was not quite good enough for me
Something happen to me - can’t you see?
Something happen to me - can’t you see?
The river runs wide when the rain does fall
The rose on the vine will grow so tall
To leave me behind in the cold n’ all
To leave me behind like a beggin’ dog
Like a beggin’ dog
Like a beggin’ dog I’ll lie here ‘till I’m gone
They’ll sweep me away into the evening fog
For the lonely madman that ain’t really too bad
*Something happen to me - what have I said
Something happen to me - what have I said
The river runs wide when the rain does fall
The rose on the vine will grow so tall
The fruit on the trees you catch as you can
There’s only the leaves for the lonely madman
For the lonely madman
For the lonely madman
*Repeat
