going to the backwoods

lyric + music by skylark

well i’m leaving in the morning

long before the sun’s had time to rise

you know it seems like bad news never comes with a warning

and keeps this look of sorrow in my eyes

city sky’s been looking gray again

steady clouding up my mind

i don’t aim to pass this way again

been searching through my memories to see what i can find

that’s why i’m going to the backwoods

i’m going home to the backwoods

i wanna see that morning sun

that’s right, i’m going to the backwoods

going home to the backwoods

backwoods, here i come

now i’m standing at the station

got me a couple dollars in my hand

bought a one-way fare and got a destination

you know there’s only so much pain that i can stand

steam train coming down the track again

she’s been rolling through for years

and i don’t think i’m coming back again

i’m tired of all this heartache, tired of all these tears

that’s why i’m going to the backwoods

i’m going home to the backwoods

i wanna see that morning sun

that’s right, i’m going to the backwoods

going home to the backwoods

backwoods, here i come
