    Lyrics

    I'm afraid to go home, I'm afraid to go home

    Worries on my mind, afraid of what I'll find
    Will my family be gone? I'm afraid to go home

    Back to Tennessee, afraid of what I'll see


    As I walk down this dusty road, got a heart with a heavy load

    Ain't one thing that's the same, so much sorrow and pain

    Headin' home in a single file, every inch is a quarter mile

    Ain't heard nobody sing, ain't seen one livin' thing

    Someone's waitin' for me, honey sweet as candy
    Wanna hold her tight; Lord, make her be all right
    Maybe 'round on next bend, all the ashes of land
    Valleys will be green instead of what I've seen

    I'm afraid for the scrubby pine, for the sweet honeysuckle vine
    I'm afraid for my home, for the fields that I roamed
    Kick along down a homeward road, and your heart's gotta take the load
    I'm afraid to go home, I'm afraid to go home

    Sherman's been in my town, burned it all to the ground

    Now there's not a tree 'tween Memphis and the Sea

    Now there's not a tree 'tween Memphis and the Sea
