lyrics

Let me write one more good bye letter
change my clothes to suit the weather
cause where I'm going there ain't no season
ain't much too believe in

Tell Juliana to keep the garden
Too many people starvin'
Give my regards to Matt and Mary
And there daughter in salt lake city uh-huh

Cause it ain't what's in front of me it's all that I ain't got
It sure ain't what's inside of me it's all that I am not
Oh me oh my
Ain't it something to leave behind

Now out on the porch there ain't no pickin'
The Rooster's gone left a couple chickens
Strings tied up in the wind they're swaying
cause the money ain't made for the playing

I'll make one meal in Nathan's kitchen
He's giving my ear a bitching
Wolfie's leaving just the same
Ain't nobody grieving calling our name uh-huh

Cause it ain't what's in front of me it's all that I ain't got
It sure ain't what's inside of me it's all that I am not
Oh me oh my
Ain't it something to leave behind

So to all the mountains I will be missing
And all the lips I won't be kissing
Be well keep standing strong
sorry i couldn't help ya get along

Cause I roamed and rambled and followed my footsteps
Trying to find them diamond deserts
but all i got are my shoes scuffed up
and that bastard Donald Trump uh-huh

Cause it ain't what's in front of me it's all that I ain't got
It sure ain't what's inside of me it's all that I am not
Oh me oh my
Ain't it something to leave behind
