Sister I'm heading out of Alabama so you better think fast   Wind is gonna pick me up now and the rain won't slack   I'm heading down to Georgia so don't lose track   Where you've been and where you're going now   Who you've seen and what they lack   Why you come undone every time you go there   You come undone, yeah, yeah      I know your heart's in danger and so is your life   I said,"You learn to trust a stranger and stop and rest for the night   Set your sight up in the headlight well the moon won't be enough   And light the embers of another and the night won't seem so rough   Sister"      There was a bloody beast of burden on a dark Texas road   A woman in a family way and a car that lost control   I'm studying the distance between the blanket and the gun   I got ten hours to Natchez and another ten home   Well I'm goin' home   Yes      I know your heart's in danger and so is your life   I said,"You learn to trust a stranger and stop and rest for the night   Set your sight up in the headlight an' the moon won't be enough   And light the embers of another and the night won't seem so rough   Sister"      Go ahead   I said,"Come on"   Ah hoo yea   Ah hoo yea   Ah hoo yea   Ah hoo yea      I said,"It's trust that brought me here   And trust will bring me home"
