Tom Waits - Home I'll Never Be Lyrics
I left New York in 1949To go across the country without a bad blame dimeMontana in the cold cold fallFound my father in the gambling hallFather, Father where you been?I've been out in the world and I'm only tenFather, Father where you been?I've been out in the world and I'm only tenDon't worry about me if I should die of pleurisyAcross to Mississippi, across to TennesseeAcross the Niagara, home I'll never beHome in ol' Medora, home in Ol' TruckeeApalachicola, home I'll never beBetter or for worse, thick and thinLike being married to the Little poor manGod he loves me (God he loves me)Just like I love him (just like I love him)I want you to do (I want you to do)Just the same for him (just the same for him, yeah)Well the worms eat away but don't worry watch the windSo I left Monatana on an old freight train (on an old freight train)The night my father died in the cold cold rain (in the cold cold rain)Road to Opelousas, road to Wounded KneeRoad to Ogallala home I'll never beRoad to Oklahoma, road to El CahonRoad to Tahachapi, road to San AntoneHey, heyRoad to Opelousas, road to Wounded KneeRoad to Ogallala, home I'll never beRoad to Oklahoma, road to El CahonRoad to Tahachapi, road to San AntoneHome I'll never be, home I'll never beHome I'll never be, home I'll never beHome I'll never be, home I'll never be
