Em C G
Em C G
[Verse 1]
Em
Just south of Leesburg
C G
Where Blue fought with Reb
Em
Some ran 'til their knees hurt
C G
'Til they couldn't feel their legs
Em
Tell me, why am I still runnin' now?
C G
For freedom, I guess
Em C G
To my forty acres, runnin' full speed ahead
Em C G
Out West to the desert, where sun shines forever
Em C G
Or up north to the city, make a few bad investments
Em C G
I'm not one for gamblin', but I'll take my chances
Em C G
It's 'bout time for a blessing, I won't settle for less
[Chorus]
D Em
'Cause I know that out there's
C G
A land full of dreams
D Em
With milk, gold and honey
C G
Just waitin' for me
D Em
So I'll pack mе a little duffle
C G
Skip the goodbyеs and leave
D
'Cause East of the Massanutten
Em C G Em C G
There's nothin' for me
[Verse 2]
Em
Met a believer
C G
Had all kinds of plans
Em
Was drunk on ambition
C G
No cards in his hands
Em
But you can't beat the dealer
C G
So grab what you can
Em
If you wind up with nothin'
C G
Then you're better off dead
[Chorus]

There's nothin' for me

So I'll stop at this motel for now
[Chorus]
