Well I’m riding down the lonesome valley
Want to find some place to be free
I keep running down the cold dark night
But my mind is cloudy and weak
My mind is cloudy and weak

Please return to me
Let my heart be free

Left the trouble back in my hometown
Let my house fall to the ground
I keep running down this path to be free
Dear lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me

Please return to me
Let my heart be free

I’ve seen all the blood, more than I care to see
The memories will always haunt me
Wash my hands with kerosene
And wipe my mind clean
Wipe my mind clean

Please return to me
Let my heart be free
