Lyrics:
Well, I been up the Mississippi to the Manitoba line
I've been downstream to the Gulf of Mexico
Followed the sun out west to Californ'
And there just ain't no place left for me to go
Spent a lonesome month in Maine and a year in Louisian'
Packed my bags and hit the Westward Trail
Rambled down through Texas 'til I came to El Paso
Spent a week in a stinkin' Juarez jail
Well, I rambled through Nevada gamblin' most of my life away
I headed north when I heard Dakota call
Well, I stayed until the Northers came rollin' down the line
I headed south when summer turned to fall
I've been north and east, south where the cotton grows
And out in the west where the sun forever shines
Well, I've bent my back for a dollar a day in a Texas sugar field
Labored in a Minnesota mine
Well, I've seen your hungry babies scream, I watched their mamas cry
Seen a worn out prostitute beg for a dime
I've seen men come out of gutters ready to give their lives away
For a slug at a lousy bottle of rot gut wine
I've been up the Mississippi to the Manitoba line
Downstream to the Gulf of Mexico
Followed the sun out west to Californ'
And there just ain't no place left for me to go
Well, there just ain't no place left for me to go

#TownesVanZandt #TVZ #InTheBeginning
TVZ is easily top 3 folk artists in history. No question.
Man TVZ was something else, always find myself coming back to these tracks
Same. I am addicted this and "Highway Kind" so bad. Have to listen the moment I get up.... and before I go to bed.
He lived his songs.. that's why they hit u right in the chest..
This one just seems to be hitting me a bit different lately. Easily one of my favorite TVZ songs.
Why there isn’t any more views I’ll never know
He didn't get many views but that's because he wasn't promoted correctly. I reckon Kevin Eggers did a shit job promoting Townes in the early days.
Discovered this song through a mod for New Vegas. Really fits!
What the hell? Which mod is that? I play modded FNV too never knew TVZ was in a mod
@@diesel-soul it was called the music pack at radio nv 300 songs. It got taken down on nexus mods, but you can still find the link on google. It also had a few more Townes van zant songs
