[Verse 1]
Oh the land I love is the South
There are rocks in the soil and briar all 'round
So we torture the Earth with the matchbook and plow
I'm nobody's baby now

And I woke before the light
And I knew that you'd gone so far from my sight
'cus I broke your heart and don't even know how
I'm nobody's baby now
I'm nobody's baby now

[Chorus]
And I taste salty tears from when you walked out
Hell, even the dog left me for the pound
I'm nobody's baby now

[Verse 2]
And I had my fill of corn liquor
Oh early in the morning like a lazy old critter
And the stars they do shine oh I stammer and howl
I'm nobody's baby now

And I gambled it all and did lose
And I knew that you'd leave me but never so soon
If it'd bring you back oh I'd murder the town
I'm nobody's baby now
I'm nobody's baby now
[Chorus]
And I taste salty tears from when you walked out
Hell, even the dog left me for the pound
I'm nobody's baby now

I'm nobody's baby now
And I taste salty tears from when you walked out
Hell, even the dog left me for the pound
I'm nobody's baby now

I'm nobody's baby now
