Mother I'm afraid Of what I have become Runnin' hungry like a dog Stuck out on the range Searchin' for my love Every day that she's been gone
I thought her heart was true It shone just like the sun Enough to make a man go blind One night the moon was new She ran off with my gun And all the money she could find
I asked myself What could I have done A man can't keep a woman down Somewhere far away She's on the run Another feather in her crown
Mother I'm alone Listenin' for the sound Of her footsteps in the dark And now everywhere I roam My ear is to the ground I can't tell the days apart
