Off to my right a freight train engine's screamin' to my left I hear a baby cry

To my devided soul they just add more confusion as I walk out into the night

I had no reason for leaving except my mind oh my troubled mind

I walk through town out into the country freedom's voice up ahead keeps calling me

Behind me in a cosy home true love is a waitin' but I don't know where I want to be

I had no reson for leaving except my mind oh my troubled mind

I had a reason for staying a greater love I'll never find

[ guitar + trumpet ]

Sometimes within I'm like a raging river then again I'm like a peaceful shore

Footprints behind me are coming and a going

I've stopped and started back a hundred times or more

I had no reson for leaving except my mind oh my troubled mind

Stars up above are guiding my footsteps the moon lights up a pathway to our home

I'm going back yet I may never be happy I couldn't bear to leave her there alone

I had no reson for leaving...
