Follow Me

Hopped that train to Memphis, left my hometown in the dust
With some stale old bread and water, gonna feed on fortune's rest
Winds carry me to my home
These wings are clipped, this whiskey sip has chained me to the ground
Blowing on empty bottles makes such a sober sound
Wings carry me to my home

Freedom, freedom, freedom Follow Me
People, people, people Follow Me
Bet my life on red and paid the fee
Lost it all, now home is calling me

Oh Lord, make me an eagle so I can fly from sea to sea
With grace and ease, I'll cut the breeze
No force can govern me
Wings carry me to my home
A giant oak, I'm rooted down, my limbs extended from the ground
In a barren field, alone I stand,
livin' life in a foreign land, come on!
Wings carry me home to my home

Freedom, freedom, freedom Follow Me
People, people, people Follow Me
Bet my life on red and paid the fee
Lost it all, now home is calling me

Well if my eyes are open, then I must be blind
I'm looking for fortune, bad luck's all I find
So come on now people, and give me a hand
We're going to work on this dusty old land
We're going to work on this dusty old land
We're going to work on this dusty old land

Our lives now rely on the rain
Lord, I thought I quit this gambling

Freedom, freedom, freedom Follow Me
People, people, people Follow Me
Set my sights ahead, no longer roam

Wings carry me to my home!
