900 Miles from My Home Bob Dylan & The Band

[Verse 1]
But I'm down here on the crack
Not a shirt upon my back
I will sell to you this island that I own
Yes I feed the mouths I took
But as down winds on the brook
Lord I'm 900 miles from my home

[Verse 2]
If my old lady she says so
I'll railroad no more
Sidetrack this engine but I still roam
Yes I've given in my call
I've gladly given it all
'Cause I'm 900 miles from my home

[Verse 3]
If I get down by the dike and the river still does run
Yes and everything I see turns to foam
Even down on the ocean side
No she don't wait in just to bang my pride
'Cause I'm 900 miles from my home

[Verse 4]
Oh Mary don't you moan
Don't you weep on the brow
Oh Mary don't you weep and don't you moan
If I get myself in line
I will be there in due time
'Cause I'm 900 miles from my home
