My good man, I don't mean you no harm,
I didn't know that there was any life left on this ramshack farm,

It seems your field hand done abused your trust,
And let your livestock go to skin and bones, and your crops to dust,

I can’t blame him, this cold ground gets hard,
I've had to dig ditch rows along miles of road under actual guard,

I can assure you/If you'd have me, I’d be a grateful guest,
This ball and chain and my cigarettes are all I’ve left,

Please forgive my poor appearance,
Before I cross the threshold of your door,

I know all about decorum,
But manners are wasted on the poor,

Lest I lead you to think less of my mother,
She raised me well,
Yeah, I knew the way,
But that was a hard path,
That was a hard path to walk,

Do you really want to sell me out?
I've been holed up here in this poor town since the birds flew south,

See, my father, he was an insolent drunk,
Who in his spare time beat a whole string of wives and the occasional son,

So when I saw her bruised, I knew it was his fault,
That’s when I snapped and threw that bottle back and brought it down on his skull,

His body, it wasn't fit for the crows,
So now my father lays in ashes in our fields, alone,

They saw the wrong I did, but what they didn’t see,
Were the scars he left on my mother and me,

So you can forget you ever saw me, 
But you don’t have to lie,

Or you can kill me here where I stand, 
And be a hero in their eyes,

But if you intend to walk me home to that prison,
I will go back,
Yeah, I know the way,
But that'd be a hard path,
That'd be a hard path to walk
