I dreamt I was in America , that I had never left
Down in new Orleans beside my grandfathers bed
I miss the bayou,I miss the new Orleans rain
To Memphis in 5hrs on the Amtrak train
Benjamin, Rebekah, bob and jeniene
a bowl of seafood gumbo at the house off magazine
It was just a dream, I saw it so clear
Ive been gone from America for almost 3 years.
I woke up here in India, its been cold and wet
My stomach turned upside down, I cant get out of bed
She left here this morning , she left me all alone
Its quiet here, its nice but wouldn’t call it home
If you see me tonight out on this weary road
I could never be further from my home
I could never be further from my home
I seen the sun rise in korea, drank from a green bottle
And sailed into the cairo sunset , along River Nile
My momma is an angel she grows prettier by the day
She worries about what eat and about the places that I stay
I worry a worry about my sister , she a woman now
Her heart is gold , she makes all of us proud
My brother too , his heart is good
he would fly here tonight , if I only asked him too
My nephews are tall and strong as the trees
And world is waiting at their feet
My father if he were here, I wish that he was
We could play chess till the sun come up
