Oh the reddish days
Seem to warm my bones
And the whiskey women
From the ragged homes
I cannot describe
Oh the purple mess
Of a dead racehorse
I witness

I've been looking for a friend for so long now
I'm beginning to believe he's gone
So take me back
Where I came from
Take me back
Where I came from

Oh the rebel lines
And the worm soaked holes
And the cars outside
Oh they will never know
I cannot describe
All the worthless roads
Taken by the eager and bold

I've been looking for a friend for so long now
I'm beginning to believe he's gone
So take me back
Where I came from
Take me back
Where I came from
