Back home, The familys eating dinner.
Theres a fire, in the fireside warm and bright
But I won't be there today, cause I got a debt to pay
And they dont let black sheep stray from the road
No they dont let black sheep stray from the road
My throat is crying out for water
Lord that wind is blowing cold
That guard is watching me, like a hawk up in a tree
And I'm longing to be free, from the road
Yes I'm longing to be free, from the road
Every bone, inside my body's aching
And that guard dont care if I live or die
He told me yesterday, son dont try to get away,
Or I'll lay you down to stay, by the road
Yes I'll lay you down to stay, by the road.
