Travelling south
Trying to work my way back home
I say i'm needed south
Trying to work my way back home

I'm so broke and hungry
I ain't got money for the telephone

Feet so tired, i think i'll go lay down
Feet so tired, i think i'll go lay down

I got another hundred mile
Before i reach the next town

I'll be glad to leave this town
I ain't coming back no more
I ain't coming back no more
I ain't coming back no more

I gonna head down to texas
That's the only place i know

Tired of this town tryin' to work may way back home
Tired of this town tryin' to work may way back home
I'm so broke and hungry ain't got no money for the telephone.
