Captain Tractor - Mary Donnel Lyrics
Voices calling me home where I belongAnd I'm longing to make myself that strongAnd I come to you every night in my headAnd I left home so long ago and it's time to make amendsWhen I left you I was just a childNow I need you but I've gone five hundred milesAnd I'll find a way back into your armsBut I've been gone for far too long to ever win your charmsHey, I'm going awayfrom the footlights here that blind meHey, what's that you sayI'm leaving you behind meWell my name is Mary Donnel and I'm twenty-one todayI've got my walking papers so there's nothing you can sayI'm sick of this old one way town and farms and families tooI'm off to find a better life and I don't need youHey, I'm going awayfrom the footlights here that blind meHey, what's that you sayI'm leaving you behind meNow I'm Mary from the south side and I've just turned twenty-twoWorking tables at the Black Dog and wearing out my shoesAnd I guess if getting grabbed is all I'm qualified to doI need to find a better life where I don't need youHey, I'm going awayI'm leaving you behind meHey, what's that you sayyour ties will never bind meAll my life, all my lifeI've wanted something I can't haveAll this time, all my timehas all been wastedNow I'm just plain Mary and I think I'm twenty-fourWalked the streets for two years now, it seems like ten or moreI'm petrified and I'm positive and I don't know what to doExcept to find a better life where I don't need youHey, I'm going awayfrom the footlights here that blind meHey, what's that you saythere's nothing left inside meHey, I'm going awaysomeplace you won't find meHey, what's that you saythese ties will never bind meHey, I'm going awayI'm leaving you behind meHey, what's that you sayno one can deny me
