Lyrics
I
left
my
home
in
Arkansas
With
sixteen
thousand
dollars
on
my
back
I
jumped
that
rail
and
rode
up
in
A
variet
on
across
Caroline
We
stopped
in
Charlotte,
C'vontas
Rock
Hill,
and
Elbowwood
and
Billy
Clay
Next
we
stopped
in
my
town
of
Atlanta
A
mile
and
a
half
down
that
road
And
now
I'm
here
to
stay
We
had
a
real
good
trouble
in
Dundee
Two
of
us
got
a
half-way
car
stop
in
a
jam
And
I
stopped
all
around
in
Memphis
On
a
ten
and
a
half-mile
run
Well,
I'm
hoppin'
on
a
through
train
I'm
takin'
five
across
Mississippi
And
I'm
a-fixin'
to
spend
my
time
In
Alabama
in
a
tent
called
a
tent
Somebody
help
me
get
out
of
Louisiana
Just
help
me
get
to
Houston
town
There's
a
lot
of
folk
there
who
care
a
little
About
me
and
they
won't
let
me
down
I
should've
brought
me
a
pocket
scope
So
I
could
put
a
target
in
my
hand
And
I
would've
fired
off
around
the
country
On
a
ten
thousand
grand
Workin'
on
a
T-4
tank
I'm
a-gonna
fly
it
over
to
New
Orleans
I'll
spend
my
time
in
New
Orleans
In
thirteen
minutes
Even
better
than
the
time
I
have
here
Waitin'
for
a
chariot
to
come
down
Eve
and
Jackson,
she's
a
tremblin'
all
over
Gather
up
and
just
move
over
Wait
and
let
me
make
it
through
to
Memphis
I'm
hoppin'
on
a
skippin'
dog
From
Virginia
to
Alabama
I'm
gonna
stop
in
Memphis
On
a
ten
and
a
half-mile
run
