Play guitar play take me back to yesterday
Let me see cotton growing in the fields
Let me hear my mama calling looky yonder y'all who's coming
Down the road he's a coming home but they know I never will

I left them living with that awful thing I done
I didn't tell them I just packed my clothes and run

Play guitar play help me through another day
Help me make another dollar before I go
We got time for one more song then we'll have to move along
Another town another crowd Lord I wonder if they know

Can they read between the lines in my song
As I sing about a good boy that went wrong
It's all we've got us to kill we've got to climb that distand hill
I wonder if they think of me
(Guitar play)
