“No dust collects on my bottle of wine.”
— Chris Colby
Leave My Worries
WRITTEN BY: CHRIS COLBY
Gonna start off on the Mason Dixon Line
Gonna head on south from there
Gonna start off on the Mason Dixon Line
Lord knows what I’ll find from there
My woman she ran out on me
But my wife she’s still back home
Maybe I’ll see her when the coast is clear
But for now I’ll just lay low
What’s the use? I’m gonna drive all night
Don’t tell nobody - they won’t find me
I’m okay. I’m alright.
Gonna leave my troubles behind me
For evermore. Forever more.
No desire to head west again
The sun weighs heavy on my mind
I got to get away from them folks around here
No dust collects on my bottle of wine
What’s the use? I’m gonna drive all night
Don’t tell nobody - they won’t find me
I’m okay. I’m alright.
Gonna leave my troubles behind me
For evermore. Forever more.
It was my job. It was my job.
A man’s gotta keep a clean head and mind
To kill a man while he lay sleeping
It was my duty and it wasn’t a crime
What’s the use? I’m gonna drive all night
Don’t tell nobody - they won’t find me
I’m okay. I’m alright.
Gonna leave my troubles behind me
For evermore. Forever more.
Way past the Mason Dixon Line
Still heading south from here
Ever pass the tip of Florida
Mr. Jim knows what we gonna find down there
What’s the use? I’m gonna drive all night
Don’t tell nobody - they won’t find me
I’m okay. I’m alright.
Gonna leave my troubles behind me
For evermore. Forever more.
What’s the use? I’m gonna drive all night
Don’t tell nobody - they won’t find me
I’m okay. I’m alright.
Gonna leave my troubles behind me
For evermore. Forever more.
