Till I Return

Help me load the truck, I already packed my bags

I gotta go now, I don't know when I'll be back

The life I live is takin' my soul

If you weren't stickin' around, then I'd lose all hope

I'm diggin' oil for the company man

He's gettin' rich while I get callused hands

And about my life, he could give a damn

See, I got bills to pay, but he needs more land

Though this journey has been cold

There's a fire burnin' in my soul

And in this dark pit I'm in

Oh, I wonder if you're waitin' 'til I return

'Til I return

'Til I return

My blood's engraved in this here boat

If you fall overboard, you better pray to God you float

Air I breathe's full of dust and smoke

My body's worn out, but I'll rest it when I'm old

There were many to fail before

But I've looked Death in the eyes and told him I ain't goin'

What's the problem with dirt on my hands?

This is what I do, this is who I am

Though this journey has been cold

There's a fire burnin' in my soul

And in this dark pit I'm in

Oh, I wonder if you're waitin' 'til I return

'Til I return

'Til I return
