-Lawrence, KS- -Josh Ritter- -------------- Capo 3 G Dirt roads and dry land farming Might be the death of me C G But I can't leave this world behind And my debts are not like prison Were there's hope of getting free C And I can't leave this world behind D C I've been from here to Lawrence, Kansas D C Trying to leave my state of mind D C Trying to leave this awful sadness G But I can't leave this world beind South of Deliah there's a patch Out back by the willow tree And I can't leave this world behind It's a fenced in piece of nothing Where I hear voices on my knees And I can't leave this world behind Some prophecies are self-fulfilling But I've had to work for all of mine Better times will come to me, God willing 'Cause I can't leave this world beind This world must be frightning Everybody's on the run And I can't leave this world behind And my house is a wooden one And it's built on the ruins of a wooden one Seem's I can't leave this world behind Preacher says that when the master calls us He's gonna give us wings to fly But my wings are made of hay and corn husks So I can't leave this world behind
