So long I'm outa here runnin' on fumes but I know just where 
I can breathe some life back in these weary bones
Too long this old town's been wearin' me thin and draggin' me down 
so I'm headed for those healing hands of home
I'm gonna run to where I can find salvation for this heart of mine
And shake these shackles of and set me free
I'm gonna lay in that open sky stir up my soul and fan the fire
And get back to the way things oughtta be
Lord for the sake of my survival I need a little revival
Can't wait until I hear the noise of nothing in my ear
And mama saying grace at suppertime
How sweet it will be when I finally get to dip my feet in the water
Soakin' up the sun by the riverside, yeah
I'm gonna run to where I can find salvation for this heart of mine
And shake these shackles of and set me free
I'm gonna lay in that open sky stir up my soul and fan the fire
And get back to the way things oughtta be
Lord for the sake of my survival I need a little revival
I ain't got that far to go till I'm shoutin' Hallelujah down the red dirtroad
Wish upon we was where the cattails grow and I'm born again a brand new man
I'm gonna run to where I can find salvation for this heart of mine
And shake these shackles of and set me free
I'm gonna laugh in that open sky stir up my soul and fan the fire
And get back to the way things got to be now
