Well, I grew up wild and free Walkin' these fields in my barefeet There wasn't no place I couldn't go With a .22 rifle and a fishin' pole Well, I live in the city but don't fit in You know it's a pity the shape I'm in Well, I got no home and I got no choice Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy When I was young I remember well I'd hunt the wild turkey and bobwhite quail The river was clear and deep back then Had fishin' lines tied to the willow limb Well, I live in the city but don't fit in You know it's a pity the shape I'm in Well, I got no home and I got no choice Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy Well, they damned the river, they damned the stream They cut down the Cyprus and the Sweetgum trees There's a laundromat and a barbershop And now the whole meadow is a parking lot Well, I live in the city but don't fit in You know it's a pity the shape I'm in Well, I got no home and I got no choice Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy Well, I live in the city but don't fit in You know it's a pity the shape I'm in Well, I got no home and I got no choice Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy

Have you heard the dogs at night Somewhere on the hill Chasing some poor criminal And I guess they're out to kill Oh, there must be shackles, on his feet And mother, in his eyes Stumbling through the devil-dark With the hound pack in full cry Have mercy on the criminal Who is running from the law Are you blind to the winds of change? Don't you hear him any more? Praying Lord you gotta help me I am never gonna sin again Just take, these chains From around my legs Sweet Jesus I'll be your friend Now have you ever seen The white teeth gleam While you lie on a Cold damp ground You're taking in the face of a rifle butt While the wardens hold you down And you're never seen a friend in years Oh, it turns your heart to stone You jump the walls And the dogs run free And the grave's gonna be your home Oh, have mercy on the criminal Who is running from the law Are you blind to the winds of change? Don't you hear him any more? Praying Lord you gotta help me I am never gonna sin again Just take, these chains From around my legs Sweet Jesus I'll be your friend Oh, have mercy on the criminal Who is running from the law Are you blind to the winds of change? Don't you hear him any more? Praying Lord you gotta help me I am never gonna sin again Just take, these chains From around my legs Sweet Jesus I'll be your friend

You're smoking cigarettes In the back of your house I watch the liquor spill And drip from your mouth You said you're holding on To old memories They keep you from moving on To all of your dreams But it wasn't the best and it wasn't the worst When I feel you again I want to know if it hurts But to tell you the truth I'm not the person you knew But it wasn't the best and it wasn't the worst When I feel you again I want to know if it hurts But to tell you the truth I'm not the person you knew Cut it off, cut it off Take pieces of me Cast away, ricochet To where you want to be And when you feel complete Give them back to me Cause it wasn't the best and it wasn't the worst When I feel you again I want to know if it hurts But to tell you the truth I'm not the person you knew Cause it wasn't the best and it wasn't the worst When I feel you again I want to know if it hurts But to tell you the truth I'm not the person you knew Anymore I am sure And then I took you by the wrist Told you that we can't coexist Friendly banter Tonight's a blur "Are you good?" and "How ya been?" We do this time and time again Cause it wasn't the best and it wasn't the worst When I feel you again I want to know if it hurts But to tell you the truth I'm not the person you knew Cause it wasn't the best and it wasn't the worst When I feel you again I want to know if it hurts But to tell you the truth I'm not the person you knew Cause it wasn't the best And it wasn't the worst
