Take me home over the hills
Take me up quite slow
I've been travelling for so long
Nowhere left to go
Take me down the river babe
I'm not going back
I've been running all these years
Covering my tracks
I've been the king
Of all the guns
Lost everything
I ever won
I've been the boss
Big outlaw bands
Now it's all slipping through my hands
I watch the big vultures fly
Over things that died
Take me way across the plains
Once I was so tall
Now I've got this pain inside
Please don't let me fall
Take me down the mountainside
Through the melting snow
Winter brings another spring
Forgetting what I know
You’ve played the bull
So many girls
Life was so full
Of stolen pearls
Kept moving on
So many trains
Till hope was gone
Out in the rain
Kept watching people lose
Till I thought, what's the use?
Take me home over the hills
Take me up real slow
I've been travelling for so long
Nowhere left to go
