G C G
Back home, The familys eating dinner.
C G
Theres a fire, in the fireside warm and bright
Am C
But I won't be there today, cause I got a debt to pay
Am D Em
And they dont let black sheep stray from the road
Am D G
No they dont let black sheep stray from the road

G C G
My throat is crying out for water
C G
Lord that wind is blowing cold
Am C
That guard is watching me, like a hawk up in a tree
Am D Em
And I'm longing to be free, from the road
Am D G
Yes I'm longing to be free, from the road
G C G
Every bone, inside my body's aching
C G
And that guard dont care if I live or die
Am C
He told me yesterday, son dont try to get away,
Am D Em
Or I'll lay you down to stay, by the road
Am D G
Yes I'll lay you down to stay, by the road.
