Transamerica - Take 'em Away (Old Crow Medicine Show)
Chorus:
Take Âem away, take Âem away, Lord
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken Âcause my spiritÂs not free
Lord take away these chains from me
Some birds feathers are too bright to be caged
I know IÂm not that colorful but a bird just the same
Open up your gate now, let me put down my load
So I can feel at ease and go back to my home
(Chorus)
Sun beatin down, my legs canÂt seem to stand
ThereÂs a boss man at a turnrow with a rifle in his hand
IÂve got nine child, nothin in the pan
My wife she died hungry while I was plowin land
(Chorus)
CanÂt see when I go to work, canÂt see when I get off
How do you expect a man not to get lost
Every year I just keep getting deeper in debt
If thereÂs a happy day, Lord, I havenÂt seen one yet
(Chorus)
Land that I love is the land that IÂm workinÂ
But itÂs hard to love it all the time when your back is a-hurtinÂ
Gettin too old now to push this here plow
Please let me lay down so I can look at the clouds
(Chorus)
Land that I know is where two rivers collide
The Brazos the Navaso and the big blue sky
Flood plains, freight trains, watermelon vines
Of any place on GodÂs green earth, this is where I choose to die
(Chorus)
Take Âem away, take Âem away, Lord
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken Âcause my spiritÂs not free
Lord take away these chains from me
Some birds feathers are too bright to be caged
I know IÂm not that colorful but a bird just the same
Open up your gate now, let me put down my load
So I can feel at ease and go back to my home
(Chorus)
Sun beatin down, my legs canÂt seem to stand
ThereÂs a boss man at a turnrow with a rifle in his hand
IÂve got nine child, nothin in the pan
My wife she died hungry while I was plowin land
(Chorus)
CanÂt see when I go to work, canÂt see when I get off
How do you expect a man not to get lost
Every year I just keep getting deeper in debt
If thereÂs a happy day, Lord, I havenÂt seen one yet
(Chorus)
Land that I love is the land that IÂm workinÂ
But itÂs hard to love it all the time when your back is a-hurtinÂ
Gettin too old now to push this here plow
Please let me lay down so I can look at the clouds
