Woody's Lament Lyrics & Music by A. Moock ©2007 Moockshake Music, ASCAP The lights were dark on the night that I left I didn't leave no note no forwarding address I didn't tell them nothing there was nothing to say When you tail it to the depot you're headed on your way I never felt at ease when I stayed in one place The dust starts to settle in the lines of your face And the smile starts to fade when you stare at the wall This world is full of people I was born to love them all Chorus: Oklahoma never was my home And California never failed to put me on the road I was chasing down the pages of my story Bound to ride that train that's bound for glory My sweet Mary Jennings was as pretty as a rose And I loved to watch my Teeny reach and grab her little toes But I felt the road a pulling and I didn't have the strength To turn my back on history so on the road I went Marjorie you were the one who almost felt like home You dug under the dirt and you turned over the stone I could shoulder the injustices that all the world could bring Why was it so hard for me to wear your wedding ring Chorus I fought a million battles and I never lost a one It was union to the table or strike until we won And kids still sing my songs today they know them as they breathe It's a sacred truth to know this land was made for you and me But don't think that I don't have regrets I own them wide and deep A family's 'bout the only thing a man can have and keep I loved all my children more than I can say But tell me when fate calls you how're you supposed to turn away Chorus
