Take 'em Away (Old Crow Medicine Show) Testo

[Chorus:]
Take ❝em away, take ❝em away, Lord
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken ❝cause my spirit❝s not free
Lord take away these chains from me
Some birds❝ feathers are too bright to be caged
I know I❝m not that colorful but a bird just the same
Open up your gate now, let me put down my load
So I can feel at ease and go back to my home
[Chorus]
Sun beatin❝ down, my legs can❝t seem to stand
There❝s a boss man at a turnrow with a rifle in his hand
I❝ve got nine child, nothin❝ in the pan
My wife she died hungry while I was plowin❝ land
[Chorus]
Can❝t see when I go to work, can❝t see when I get off
How do you expect a man not to get lost
Every year I just keep getting deeper in debt
If there❝s a happy day, Lord, I haven❝t seen one yet
[Chorus]
Land that I love is the land that I❝m workin❝
But it❝s hard to love it all the time when your back is a-hurtin❝
Gettin❝ too old now to push this here plow
Please let me lay down so I can look at the clouds
[Chorus]
Land that I know is where two rivers collide
The Brazos the Navaso and the big blue sky
Flood plains, freight trains, watermelon vines
Of any place on God❝s green earth, this is where I choose to die
[Chorus]
