I'm Afraid to Go Home

歌詞

I'm afraid to go home, I'm afraid to go home Worries on my mind, afraid of what I'll find Will my family be gone? I'm afraid to go home Back to Tennessee, afraid of what I'll see As I walk down this dusty road, got a heart with a heavy load Ain't one thing that's the same, so much sorrow and pain Headin' home in a single file, every inch is a quarter mile Ain't heard nobody sing, ain't seen one livin' thing Someone's waitin' for me, honey sweet as candy Wanna hold her tightLord, make her be all right Maybe 'round on next bend, all the ashes of land Valleys will be green instead of what I've seen I'm afraid for the scrubby pine, for the sweet honeysuckle vine I'm afraid for my home, for the fields that I roamed Kick along down a homeward road, and your heart's gotta take the load I'm afraid to go home, I'm afraid to go home Sherman's been in my town, burned it all to the ground Now there's not a tree 'tween Memphis and the Sea Now there's not a tree 'tween Memphis and the Sea
