Tom Waits

(Jack Kerourac)
I left New York in 1949
To go across the country without a bad blame dime
Montana in the cold cold fall
Found my father in the gambling hall
Father, Father where you been?
Ive been out in the world and Im only ten
Father, Father where you been?
Ive been out in the world and Im only ten
Dont worry about me if I should die of pleurisy
Across to Mississippi, across to Tennessee
Across the Niagara, home Ill never be
Home in ol Medora, home in Ol Truckee
Apalachicola, home Ill never be
Better or for worse, thick and thin
Like being married to the Little poor man
God 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 dont worry watch the wind
So 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 Knee
Road to Ogallala home Ill never be
Road to Oklahoma, road to El Cahon
Road to Tahachapi, road to San Antone
Hey, hey
Road to Opelousas, road to Wounded Knee
Road to Ogallala, home Ill never be
Road to Oklahoma, road to El Cahon
Road to Tahachapi, road to San Antone
Home Ill never be, home Ill never be
Home Ill never be, home Ill never be
Home Ill never be, home Ill never be
