Some bird feathers are too bright to be caged

Open up your gate now let me put down my load

So I can feel at ease and go back to my home

G C
Sun beatin' down my legs can't seem to stand
G D
There's a boss man at a turnrow with a rifle in his hand

I've got nine children, nothin' in the pan
G D G
My wife she died hungry while I was plowin' land
[Chorus]

G C
Can't see when I go to work, can't see when I get off

How do you expect a man not to get lost

Every year I just keep getting deeper in debt

If there's a happy day, Lord, I haven't seen one yet

G C
Land that I love is the land that I'm workin'
G D
But it's hard to love it all the time when your back is a-hurtin'

Gettin' too old now to push this here plow
G D G
Please let me lay down so I can look at the clouds
[Chorus]

Take 'em away, take 'em away, Lord

[Verse 5]
G C
The land that I know is where two rivers collide
G D
The Brazos, the Navaso and the big blue sky
G C
Flood plains, freight trains, watermelon vines
G D G
Of any place on God’s green earth, this is where I choose to die
[Chorus]

Take 'em away, take 'em away, Lord
G D
Take away these chains from me
G C
My heart is broken 'cause my spirit's not free

Lord, take away these chains from me
