Oh when somebody does you wrong, what do you do?
And you're not the only one they're making love to

Oh when they let go of your hand
You've got to get back to the land
Cause it will never, ever, ever hurt you

When you're so-called friends no longer want you around
You're not up with the trends like the other friends they've found
If you don't fit in to their plans
Oh just get back to the land
Cause it will never, ever, ever let you down

Your mother's always loved you
She wraps you in her arms
And feeds you milk and honey
And keeps you safe from harm

And when nobody appreciates you
Where do you go?
Do you pack your bags and catch a train
To I-Don't-Know?

Oh when they don't understand
You've got to get back to the land
Cause it will never, never, never let you go

Oh when they don't understand
You've got to get back to the land
Cause it will never, never, never let you go
