Well hon I've gotta tell you
Ive gotta make a name for myself
Im sorry if it hurts you
It comes from the deepest part I've ever felt
I'm packing my bags
Getting up to go
Dragging my ass back on the road
Well pa I've gotta tell you
Thank you for it all
I'm sorry I didn't answer
Every time you tried to call
I'm making him proud every day I hope
Seeing his eyes everywhere I go
Oohs
Im off to Chicago
Colorado
Idaho
Next is California
I hope it fills my soul
Well ma I've gotta tell you
You loved me most of them all
And if it wasn't for you
I' still be trying to crawl
Spreading your love from coast to coast
Helping others with the wrath of Tom Joad
Oohs
