All of my life I've used the earth as a pillow and the sky as a blanket of blue.
Now all that I own is the shirt on my back and the blanket and the saddle on you.

So mare take me home, mare take me home, mare take me home, mare take me home.

And I spent some time in jail, but then my face turned pale and my health was starting to fail.
So the sheriff he let me go, and then the town's people caught me and they run me out of town on a rail.

Mare take me home, mare take me home, mare take me home, mare take me home.

Mare carry me, take me right down to the place where I wanna be.
Cause home's where I should go and I never wanna travel that god-forsaken trail no more.

So mare take me home, mare take me home, mare take me home, mare take me home,
Mare take me home, mare take me home, mare take me home, mare take me home,
Mare take me home, mare take me home, mare take me home, mare
