Andru Bemis, Elisabeth Pixley-Fink - Nobody Lyrics

I know there will come a day
When I will throw these shoes away
No more thumbing down the old highway
Just trying to find a ride
To heaven knows where I've been
But I am bound for home again
I'm waiting on the day no body to tie me down
I'm waiting on the day nobody gonna keep me down

I went to church, the preacher spoke
Of father, son and holy ghost
And how they hated gays the most
I got the hell out running
Heaven knows how hard I've tried
To keep my savior satisfied
I'm waiting on the day no body to tie me down
I'm waiting on the day nobody gonna keep me down

If I should die before I wake
I give the world my flesh to take
It tried so hard my soul to break
I'm bruised but I will fly
To heaven knows I've done my best
And I know heaven will do the rest
I'm waiting on the day no body to tie me down
I'm waiting on the day nobody gonna keep me down

When autumn turns the leaves to gold
And time has turned me grey and old
I'll turn my collar to the cold
And set out on that road
To heaven knows where I've been
But soon I will be home again
I'm waiting on the day no body to tie me down
I'm waiting on the day nobody gonna keep me down
