I'll build me a ship and I'll sail on My weary soul Drift away like an old time song My weary soul Lost at sea, cast away Lost in the wind, lost in the rain I'll build me a ship and I'll sail on My weary soul I'll walk to the end of the old mud road My weary soul To the dry creek beds where we used to roam My weary soul Like a boy in the woods I set myself free Lost in my own mind, lost in the breeze I'll walk to the end of the old mud road My weary soul I'll go to the house where I lived as a kid My weary soul Work the land that my Daddy did My weary soul In a land with no darkness, no hatred, no pain Nothing to lose, nothing to gain I'll go to the house where I lived as a kid My weary soul I'll climb to the top of this mountain so tall My weary soul Let me rest, won't you let me fall My weary soul Underneath the towering pines I long for a land I've painted in my mind I'll climb to the top of this mountain so tall My weary soul
