Sister

sister i'm heading out of alabama
 so you better think fast
 the wind is gonna pick me up now
 and the rain won't slack
 i'm heading down to georgia
 so don't lose track
 of where you've been and where you're going now
 who you've seen and what they lack
 and why you come undone
 every time you go there
 you come undone
 yeah
 yeah
 i know your heart's in danger
 and so is your life
 i said you learn to trust a stranger
 and stop and rest for the night
 set your sight up in the headlight
 well the moon won't be enough
 (sister)
 and light the embers of another
 and the night won't won't seem so rough
 sister
 ah
 there was a bloody beast of burden
 (i wish i was a mother)
 on a dark texas road
 (with a baby at my breast)
 a woman in a family way
 (i am just a farmer)
 and a car that lost control
 (with a milkcow and a mess)
 i'm studying the distance
 (i wish i was a mother)
 between the blanket and the gun
 (with a baby at my breast)
 i got ten hours to natchez
 (i am just a farmer)
 and another ten home
 (with a milkcow and a mess)
 well i'm goin' home
 yes
 i know your heart's in danger
 (sister)
 and so is your life
 (sister)
 i say learn to trust a stranger
 (learn to trust)
 and stop and rest for the night
 set your sight up in the headlight
 yeah the moon won't be enough
 and light the embers of another
 and the night won't seem so rough
 sister
 go ahead
 i said come on
 ah oh yeah
 ah oh yeah
 ah oh yeah
 ah oh yeah
 i said it's trust that brought me here
 and trust will bring me home
