Iâm a slave to the south thereâs a curse on this house
Iâve been dying to leave but I just canât get out
Iâve always been drawn to one wooden shack
And a man with the weight of the world on his back
Iâve got dust on my boots, Iâve got tears in my eyes
And ill work in these fields for the rest of my life
Like my father before me who worked every day
And Iâll be damned if I let someone take that from me
Well a life full of riches means nothing to me
With a full of joy there that no one can see
And a poor hungry heart that still wants to be free
And somebody there whoâs still waiting for me
And I know of a place that gets slow when it rains
With a sky thatâs as blue as the blood in my veins
And a burnt cigarette sits on some window pane
With the loud laughs and thunder in a slow southern state
Iâve been raising my hands, Iâve been praying for rain
And I screamed at them skies but the drops never came
Well with sun on my face and with god on my side
Who will I blame if those crops, they donât rise
Well I always hoped life wouldnât end up like this
With a well thatâs gone dry and a cross in my fist
Well if my hair has gone gray and those rains still ainât came
Well then well wade in that river, let it take us away
Well a life full of riches means nothing to me
With a full of joy there that no one can see
And a poor hungry heart that still wants to be free
And somebody there whoâs still waiting for me
And I know of a place that gets slow when it rains
With a sky thatâs as blue as the blood in my veins
And a burnt cigarette sits on some window pane
With the loud laughs and thunder in a slow southern state
