Lyrics Over Yonder (Jonathan's Song) - Live - Steve Earle

The warden said he? d mail my letter
Chaplain? s waitin? by the door
Tonight we? ll cross that yard together
Then they can? t hurt me anymore

Because I am going over yonder
Where no ghost can follow me
There? s another place beyond here
Where I? ll be free I believe

You can give my radio to Johnson
Thibodeaux can have my fan
Just send my Bible home to Mama
Call her every now and then

Because I am going over yonder
Where no ghost can follow me
There? s another place beyond here
Where I? ll be free I believe

I suppose I got it comin?
I can? t ever pay enough
And all my rippin? and a runnin?
I hurt everyone I loved

The world? ll turn around without me
The sun? ll come up in the east
Shinin? down on all of them that hate me
I hope my goin? brings? em peace

Well I, I am going over yonder
Where no ghost can follow me
There? s another place beyond here
Where I? ll be free, yeah, that's what I believe
