[Verse 1]
G G
G
Dirt roads and dry land farming
Might be the death of me
C G
But I can't leave this world behind
And my debts are not like prison
Were there's hope of getting free
C G
And I can't leave this world behind
[Chorus 1]
D C
I've been from here to Lawrence, Kansas
D C
Trying to leave my state of mind
D C
Trying to leave this awful sadness
G
But I can't leave this world behind
[Verse 2]
G
South of Deliah there's a patch
Out back by the willow tree
C G
And I can't leave this world behind
It's a fenced in piece of nothing
Where I hear voices on my knees
C G
And I can't leave this world behind
[Chorus 2]
D C
Some prophecies are self-fulfilling
D C
But I've had to work for all of mine
D C
Better times will come to me, God willing
G
'Cause I can't leave this world behind
[Break]
G C G G C G
D C D C D C
G G G
[Verse 3]
G
This world must be frightning
Everybody's on the run
C G
And I can't leave this world behind
And my house is a wooden one
And it's built on the ruins of a wooden one
C G
Seem's I can't leave this world behind
[Chorus 3]
D C
Preacher says that when the master calls us
D C
He's gonna give us wings to fly
D C
But my wings are made of hay and corn husks
G
So I can't leave this world behind
[Outro]
