Old Crow Medicine Show - Take 'em Away lyrics

rate me

(Chorus)

Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord

Take away these chains from me

My heart is broken cause my spirits

Not free

Lord take away these chains from me

Some birds feathers are too bright to

be caged

I know I'm not that colorful but a bird

just the same

Open up your gate now, let me put

down my load

So I can feel at ease and go back to my

home

(Chorus)

Sun beating down, my legs can't seem

to stand

There's a boss man at a turnrow with a

rifle in his hand

I've got nine children, nothin in the pan

My wife she died hungrey while I was

Plowin' Land

(chorus)

Can't see when I go to work, can't see

When I get off

How do you expect a man not to get lost

Every year I just keep getting deeper in

Debt

If there's a happy day, Lord, I haven't

seen one yet

(Chorus)

Land that I love is the land that I'm

workin

But it's hard to love it all the time when

Your back is a-hurting

Getting too old now to push this here

Plow

Please let me lay down so I can look at

The clouds

(Chorus)

Land that I know is where tworivers

collide

The Brazos The Navaso and the big blue

Sky

Flood plains, freight trains, watermelon

Vines

Of any place on God's green earth, This

is where I choose to die

(Chorus)
