danny o'keefe - the drover lyrics
[verse 1]
i met him there in pioneer square
in an empty bottle of muscatel
he said, “here’s my song and where i’ve gone
i’ll tell ya, boy, i’ve gone to h+ll”
[verse 2]
“hear my say, i’ve lost the way
i’ve burned the bridge behind me
and lord above, there ain’t no one
i ever loved can find me”
[chorus]
i hope you understand
sometimes you never can
go back home again, boy
go back home again
[verse 3]
“the drovers call from south st. paul
i rode in from dakota
on the midnight freight they made me wait
they said they had their quota
[verse 4]
“i was just a kid, i hit the skid
hard drinks and easy livin’
think what you please, but a sour disease
can come from the sweetest woman”
[chorus]
i hope you understand
sometimes you never can
go back home again, boy
go back home again
[verse 5]
it was shortly after picking time
he was madder than a hatter
here’s his song, and where he’s gone?
it does not really matter
[verse 6]
i left him there in pioneer square
skid row in seattle
the wind had dried his mind inside
and left him with a rattle
[chorus]
i hope you understand
sometimes you never can
go back home again, boy
go back home again
“can ya spare a man a dollar
just to buy some peace of mind?
man, at least get off a quarter
i need a shot of wine”
