Lyrics by Uncle John CBG, Guitar and Fretless Bass (no drums)

I'm sick and I'm broken- and trying to go home. (x2)

I'm a thousand miles from home. I don't want to die alone.

My daddy told me, “You reap what you sow. (x2)

But I didn't listen. Now I'm a sick and homeless hobo.

I'm a bad apple. Far from the tree. (x2)

I wasn't raised up to turn out this a' way....

I was raised up right, but it didn't sink in. (x2)

They raised me for Heaven, but I was bound for sin.

I shoulda gone home - a long time ago. (x2)

A thousand miles as the crow flies, but I'm no crow.

I'm sick and I'm broken- and trying to go home. (x2)

A thousand miles as the crow flies, but I'm no crow.

A thousand miles as the crow flies. I don't want to die alone.

There's an old lone wolf down on the next cell block.   (x2)                                                              Put a guitar in his hands and that Clock will rock.

That's some mighty prolific prose you're proposing Unc!

Must pick on Silent Jim. 

I couldn't sleep last night because of 'Silent Jim.'  (x2)                                                                      He screams all night long since he's been in.

Sorry. More.  

The jail keeper is a guy named big Ben Gitty.                                                                                  He runs a tight old jail, but he ain't too pretty.

Another guard is a guy called A.G. P.                                                                                                   He should be the one in jail, believe me please.
