I'm Afraid To Go Home (Live)

I'm afraid to go home

I'm afraid to go home

Worries on my mind

Afraid of what I'll find

Will my family be gone

I'm afraid to go home

Back to Tennessee

Afraid of what I'll see

As I walk down this dusty road

Got a heart with a heavy load

Ain't a thing that's the same

So much sorrow and pain

Heading home in a single file

Every inch is a quarter mile

Ain't heard nobody sing

Ain't seen one living thing

Someone's waiting for me

Honey sweet as can be

Wanna hold her tight

Lord, make her be all right

Maybe 'round the next bend

All the ashes'll end

Valleys will be green

Instead of what I've seen

I'm afraid for the scrubby pine

Aw, the sweet honeysuckle vine

I'm afraid for my home

For the fields that I roamed

Kick along down a homeward road

And your heart's gotta take the load

I'm afraid to go home

I'm afraid to go home

Sherman's been in my town

Burned it all to the ground

Now there's not a tree

'Tween Memphis and the sea

Now there's not a tree

'Tween Memphis and the sea
