Travelin' down this weary road
Travelin' down this weary road
Travelin' down this weary road
A troubled min'd is a heavy load
Travelin' down this weary road

Hold my ticket in my hand
Hold my ticket in my hand
Hold my ticket in my hand
Lookin for the Promised Land
Hold my ticket in my hand
	
I'm a thousand miles from home
I'm a thousand miles from home
I'm a thousand miles from home
Georgia rain blows through my bones
I'm a thousand miles from home
	
Told my love my last good bye
My very, very last good bye
Told my love my last good bye
Hang my head and the tears just cry
Told my love my last good bye
	
I'm a thousand miles from home
I'm a thousand miles from home
I'm a thousand miles from home
Georgia rain blows through my bones
I'm a thousand miles from home
