Steve Earle – Over Yonder lyrics

Album: Transcendental Blues

The warden said he'd mail my letter
The chaplain's waitin? by the door
Tonight we'll cross the yard together
Then they can't hurt me anymore

I am going over yonder
Where no ghost can follow me
There's another place beyond here
Where I'll be free I believe

Give my radio to johnson
Thibodeaux can have my fan
Send my Bible home to mama
Call her every now and then

I suppose I got it comin?
I can't ever pay enough
All my rippin? and a runnin?
I hurt everyone I loved

The world'll turn around without me
The sun'll come up in the east
Shinin? down on all of them that hate me
I hope my goin' brings ?em peace
