The Wind and Rain

I saw the wind, I saw the rain, saw my baby leavin' like the freight train
Come on baby, won't you come on home
All I want is to not be alone
Don't ever drink, don't ever lie, don't ever wanna lay down and die
Come on baby, let me help you out
Won't the world seem lonely when you're down south
Left my home, left me ma, left the world like a singing saw
Come on baby, what do you think I mean
I want to love you but I'm like a sack of beans
Had a girl named Suzie Q., love me and five others too
Come on baby, won't you pick just one
Thought I loved you but you were having fun
Do it wrong, do it right, don't want another fight
Come on baby, when will this all end
By the grace of God or at the hands of men
Let the world smile, let it be, let the midnight special shine on me
Come on baby, I've got to let you go
because you're long gone, found another beau

In The Morn

Sleep until dawn
Sleep my love
I'll see you in the morn
Dream a bit of me
Dream of what might be
I'll see you in the morn
Breathe a breath of peace
Breathe for your beauty
I'll see you in the morn
Miles are whats in between
Miles aren't what they seem
I'll see you in the morn
Home is where I belong
Home is what i need I'll see you in my dreams
I'll see you in my dreams
Sleep until dawn
Sleep my love
I'll see you in the morn

West

Gather round people to the story I tell
Because I ain't going to Heave or hell
I'm going out West to the land of the free
And don't you dare consider following me
For if you follow I can not provide
Not one bare essential not even a ride
And I've run out of money which is why I must go
And my woman don't love me anymore
My hair is growing old and grey
And I must fade away
So I must go from this old place
Never again to see your face
So gather round people to the story I tell
Because I ain't going to Heave or hell
I'm going out West to the land of the free
And don't you dare consider following me

Goin' Home

Goin' back to where I belong
Leavin' me gal all alone
I'm goin' home, I'm goin home
Take that train, take it far
Take it the neighbor's bar
I'm goin' home, I'm goin home
Look up the street, what do I see
A bunch of friends callin' out to me
I'm goin' home, I'm goin home
Look where I'm goin', look where I've been
don't know if I'll get back again
I'm goin' home, I'm goin home
Hear those people writhe in pain
Listen to that old freight train
I'm goin' home, I'm goin home
Went up to the mountain, went to the sea
Heard the Lord saying what had to be
I'm goin' home, I'm goin home
Don't know where home is, doubt I ever will
Doubt I'll know if this is even real
I'm goin' home, I'm goin home
Tell my friends, tell my pa
Tell 'em I might never get back at all
I'm goin' home, I'm goin home

I'm Trying

I know what I write
I write what I mean
It don't make me right
It makes me obscene
But I'm trying, good Lord, I'm trying
It ain't what you do
It's the way that you do it
The Lord'll forgive you
But I'll live with it
But I'm trying, good Lord, I'm trying
So take me up north to that beautiful river
Let me jump in like it was made of liquor
I know that I'm wrong, that don't make you right
I don't want to live through the rest of the night
It isn't your fault
This way that I am
You're just like salt
And I'm a sucker for ham
But I'm trying, good Lord, I'm trying
