Capo 3
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
G  G
 
     G
Dirt roads and dry land farming
 
Might be the death of me
      C                          G
But I can't leave this world behind
 
And my debts are not like prison
 
Were there's hope of getting free
      C                          G
And I can't leave this world behind
 
[Chorus 1]
 
D                                  C
  I've been from here to Lawrence, Kansas
D                             C
  Trying to leave my state of mind
D                             C
  Trying to leave this awful sadness
                                 G
But I can't leave this world behind
 
[Verse 2]
 
         G
South of Deliah there's a patch 
 
Out back by the willow tree
      C                          G
And I can't leave this world behind
 
It's a fenced in piece of nothing
 
Where I hear voices on my knees
      C                          G
And I can't leave this world behind
 
[Chorus 2]
 
D                              C
  Some prophecies are self-fulfilling
D                                 C
  But I've had to work for all of mine
D                                    C
  Better times will come to me, God willing
                                   G
'Cause I can't leave this world behind

[Verse 3]
 
     G
This world must be frightning
 
Everybody's on the run
      C                          G
And I can't leave this world behind
 
And my house is a wooden one
 
And it's built on the ruins of a wooden one
         C                          G
Seem's I can't leave this world behind
 
[Chorus 3]
 
D                                     C
  Preacher says that when the master calls us
D                             C
  He's gonna give us wings to fly
D                                  C
  But my wings are made of hay and corn husks
                                G
So I can't leave this world behind
