[Verse 1]
I want to know the one I'm named for
I want to understand this shame
I want a son named for my hometown
I wanna crawl through Heaven's gate

[Chorus]
But hey, don't you cry for me my baby
Cause it has always been this way
Lost in my unknown country
Don't wait, cause at the end of the road, my baby
Don't gotta worry 'bout a thing
I'll get lost in my unknown country

[Verse 2]
I wanna a trip back to New Jersey
But I overslept and missed the train
And I could whisper that I still love you
But I'm something more than afraid

[Chorus]
So I said hey, don't you cry for me my baby
Cause it has always been this way
Lost in my unknown country
Don't stay, if you're long gone my baby
And when you get on your way
I'll get lost in the unknown country
