I've played in bars and nursing homes   And train stations out west   Carnivals and backyard fun   And everywhere else in between      Bless the ones who helped the cause   And damn those hearts of stone   Couches, floors and fold-out beds   Just thankful for a place to lay my head      I miss my farm and family   The hills and the woods   I gotta girl back there who's good to me   And I'd be there right now if I could      I spent a lifetime underground   And I don't want no grave   Just throw my ashes in the field   And hope there's some soul left to save   Oh I just hope there's some soul left to save
