I’ll build me a ship and I’ll sail on
My weary soul
Drift away like an old time song
My weary soul
Lost at sea, cast away
Lost in the wind, lost in the rain
I’ll build me a ship and I’ll sail on
My weary soul
I’ll walk to the end of the old mud road
My weary soul
To the dry creek beds where we used to roam
My weary soul
Like a boy in the woods I set myself free
Lost in my own mind, lost in the breeze
I’ll walk to the end of the old mud road
My weary soul
I’ll go to the house where I lived as a kid
My weary soul
Work the land that my Daddy did
My weary soul
In a land with no darkness, no hatred, no pain
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain
I’ll go to the house where I lived as a kid
My weary soul
I’ll climb to the top of this mountain so tall
My weary soul
Let me rest, won’t you let me fall
My weary soul
Underneath the towering pines
I long for a land I’ve painted in my mind
I’ll climb to the top of this mountain so tall
My weary soul
