Got a heavy load, there's nothin' more to say

I broke down east of nowhere 
Em                       D       C 
I felt the darkness come down on me 
G                         D                  C 
But there's a place I can go, I'll never be alone

  I'm goin' home 
 
 
Solo 
 
 
I've been around and I've seen some things 
Well, I ran with outlaws, I laid down with queens 
Oh, Well I'm goin' home 
They took me out, they took the best of me 
I wanna see that river, Lord I wanna be free 
Oh, I'm goin' home

But I've seen salvation rollin' east down I-10 
 
 
Solo 
 
 
Oh, yeah, yeag 
Gonna go 
 
 
They drop me off outside the Central Trust 
I can feel the sunshine, and I can taste the main street dust 
Oh, I'm goin home 
 
Chorus 
 
Caught a Greyhound in west LA 
I got a heavy load, there's nothin' more to say 
 
Fade out
