I got no home i can go back to I got no one to call a friend I can't find the place i started I can only guess how it will end. Chorus: Keep them hounds off my trail These jailers off my back Get these bracelets off of me A little rain to hide my track. There's no whiskey in the jar I'm so dry i need a drink. I need a place to lay my head down I need to find some time to think. Chorus That old river keeps on rolling And old hannah won't go down. I can't give back what i ain't taken And i won't give up, if i ain't found. I have nothing i can offer I'm like a dog without a bone; But if there's someone up there listening There's a poor boy out here alone. Chorus
