Lawrence, Ks Lyrics - Josh Ritter

Dirt roads and dry land farming might be the death of me 

But I can't leave this world behind 

Debts are not like prison where there's hope of getting free 

And I can't leave this world behind 

I've been from here to Lawrence, Kansas 

Trying to leave my state of mind 

Trying to leave this awful sadness 

But I can't leave this world behind 

South of Delia there's a patch out back by the willow trees 

And I can't leave this world behind 

It's a fenced in piece of nothing where I hear voices on my knees 

And I can't leave this world behind

Some prophecies are self-fulfilling 

But I've had to work for all of mine 

Better times will come to me, God willing 

Cause I can't leave this world behind 

This world must be frightening everybody's on the run 

And I can't leave this world behind 

And my house is a wooden one and its built on a wooden one 

Seems I can't leave this world behind

Preacher says when the Master calls us 

He's gonna give us wings to fly 

But my wings are made of hay and corn husks 

So I can't leave this world behind
