Down the Dirt Road Blues - Tony Joe White

I’m goin' away to a world unknown

Goin' away to a world unknown

I’m weary now

Won’t be weary long

My rider got somethin', tryin' to keep it hid

My rider got somethin', tryin' to keep it hid

I feel like choppin' chip

Chips flyin' everywhere

I been to the nation, Lord, I couldn’t stay

Some people say them overseas blues ain’t bad

Of course they are

Say, «What's matter with him?»

It must not o' been them oversea blues I had

Every day seem like murder here

God, I’m not no sheriff

Every day seem like murder

And I ain’t no sheriff

I’ll be leavin' tomorrow

I know you bid my care

Can’t go down any dirt road by myself, oh-no

Can’t go down any dirt road

What are you doin'?

By myself

But, my Lord, who ya gonna carry?

I don’t carry my baby

Gonna carry me someone else

Goin' away to a world unknown

Mm-mm-mm-mm

Pretty wild
