[Verse 1]
All and all I guess that there's so many things that we don't say and
It's what makes us sad I think sometimes
That makes us close but I don't mind, I don't mind

[Verse 2]
In the alleys and the bonefields of Arkansa past the piles of tires and the
Smell of hot tar you threw your papers
In the rain under your hat you had a world
A world

[Chorus]
There ain't no father
There ain't no mother
There ain't no sister
Ain't got no brother
Running to no one
Running for cover

[Verse 3]
In the valleys and the twilight of Illinois under the
New moon I write in my book and I walk the streets
Where no one lives not even you but, you don't mind
You don't mind

[Verse 4]
And all and all I guess that there's so many things that we don't say
And today you think that I don't even like
You but don't you know you are my world
You are my world
[Chorus]
There ain't no father
There ain't no mother
I don't see my sister
Ain't got no brother
Running to no one
Left to each other

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
There ain't no father
There ain't no mother
I don't see my sister
Ain't got no brothers
Running to Jesus
Running to lovers
Running to strangers
Running for cover
Running to no one
Left to each other
