Nobody's Baby Now

Oh, the land I love is the South

But there are rocks in the soil and briar all 'round

So we torture the earth with a matchbook and plow

I'm nobody's baby now

And I woke before the light

And I knew that you'd gone so far from my sight

'Cause I broke your heart and don't even know how

I'm nobody's baby now

And I'm nobody's baby now

And I taste salty tears from when you walked out

And how leaving the dog left me for the pound

I'm nobody's baby now

And I had my fill of corn liquor

Oh, early in the morning like a lazy old critter

When the stars they do shine, oh, I stammer and howl

I'm nobody's baby now

And I gambled it all and did lose

And I knew that you'd leave me but never so soon

If it'd bring you back, oh, I'd murder the town

I'm nobody's baby now

And I'm nobody's baby now

And I taste salty tears from when you walked out

And how leaving the dog left me for the pound

I'm nobody's baby now

And I'm nobody's baby now

And I taste salty tears from when you walked out

And how leaving the dog left me for the pound

I'm nobody's baby now

I'm nobody's baby now
