Half a mile back and the cool air's comin'
Wish that I could find a better way now
O mighty God if the snow start fallin'
I might never see another May
Left sweet Jones County when the corn stood high
It was too tall to see her when I looked behind
Now I ain't runnin' cause I'm scared to die
It's a rich man's war and a poor man's
Heaven never knew a finer song
Hang it up from up above
How'm I gonna find my way back home
How'm I gonna find my way
Well I ain't a prophet but I can't go back
Not welcome in my own hometown boys
Till the day they hang me hold high my head
I ain't killin' in no cotton man's stead
If I had wings like a fine rare bird
I would spread 'em wide and fly on
As it stands now I'm a head for the swamp
I'm a stranger till I leave this world
Heaven never knew a finer song
Hang it up from up above
How'm I gonna find my way back home
How'm I gonna find my way
Come into my heart and in my bones
Fill me up to carry on
How'm I gonna find my way back home
How'm I gonna find my way
Snow starts fallin' I'm a keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin' this way
Keep my eyes up
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin' this way
Heaven never knew a finer song
Hang it up from up above
How'm I gonna find my way back home
How'm I gonna find my way
Come into my heart and in my bones
Fill me up to carry on
How'm I gonna find my way back home
How'm I gonna find my way
All we ever knew callous love
Anger only covers up
How'm I gonna find my way back home
How'm I gonna find my way
Come into my heart and in my bones
Fill me up to carry on
How'm I gonna find my way back home
How'm I gonna find my way
