I'm a simple son lord farther from my home
Then a star from heaven walking with me as I go, as I do
That's my call
Times a wastin so don't keep my prisoner for long
And long as I've got trouble everywhere I go
I'm must be back on the street in south New Mexico, Mexico
What went wrong, I don't know
Times a wastin so don't keep my prisoner for long
And my Louisiana and my Tennessee
Woman don't get sweeter than that Carolina tea
And they wait while I'm gone
Well times a wastin so don't keep my prisoner for long
Let it go, yeah
Yeah
Well ma'am it's been a long day
It's warn me through and through
So what about that loving you've got waiting in your room, in your room
Down the hall
Times a wastin so don't keep my prisoner, sugar
Times a wastin so don't keep my prisoner, baby
Times a wastin so don't keep my prisoner for long
Oh at all
Yes sir
