Home I'll Never Be Lyrics - Oh My God Charlie Darwin - The Low Anthem

by Jack Kerouac and Tom Waits 

I left New York in 1949 

To go across the country without a bad blame dime 

Montana in the cold cold fall 

Found my father in the gambling hall 

Father, Father where you been? 

I've been out in the world and I'm only ten 

Father, Father where you been? 

I've been out in the world and I'm only ten 

Don't worry about me if I should die of pleurisy 

Across to Mississippi, across to Tennessee 

Across the Niagara, home I'll never be 

Home in ol' Medora, home in ol' Truckee 

Apalachicola, home I'll never be 

Better or for worse, thick and thin 

Like being married to the Little poor man 

God he loves me (God he loves me) 

Just like I love him (just like I love him) 

I want you to do (I want you to do) 

Just the same for him (just the same for him, yeah) 

Well the worms eat away but don't worry watch the wind 

So I left Monatana on an old freight train (on an old freight train) 

The night my father died in the cold cold rain (in the cold cold rain) 

Road to Opelousas, road to Wounded Knee 

Road to Ogallala home I'll never be 

Road to Oklahoma, road to El Cahon 

Road to Tahachapi, road to San Antone 

Hey, hey 

Road to Opelousas, road to Wounded Knee 

Road to Ogallala, home I'll never be 

Road to Oklahoma, road to El Cahon 

Road to Tahachapi, road to San Antone 

Home I'll never be, home I'll never be 

Home I'll never be, home I'll never be 

Home I'll never be, home I'll never be
