[Verse 1]
When I first came to town
All the people gathered 'round
They bought me drinks
Oh lord, how they quickly changed their tune
[Verse 2]
When I first came to town
The people took me 'round from end to end
Like someone may take around a friend
Oh, how quickly they changed their tune
[Verse 3]
Suspicion and dark murmurs surround me
Everywhere I go they confound me
As though the blood on my hands
Is there for every citizen to see
[Chorus 1]
Oh, sweet Jesus
There is no turning back
There is always one more town
A little further down the track
[Verse 4]
And from my window, across the tracks
I watch the juicers burn their fires
And in that light their faces leer at me
How I wish they'd just let me be
When I first came to town
All the people gathered 'round
They bought me drinks
Oh lord, how they quickly changed their tune
[Verse 2]
When I first came to town
The people took me 'round from end to end
Like someone may take around a friend
Oh, how quickly they changed their tune
[Verse 3]
Suspicion and dark murmurs surround me
Everywhere I go they confound me
As though the blood on my hands
Is there for every citizen to see
[Chorus 1]
Oh, sweet Jesus
There is no turning back
There is always one more town
A little further down the track
[Verse 4]
And from my window, across the tracks
I watch the juicers burn their fires
And in that light their faces leer at me
How I wish they'd just let me be
