Over Yonder Lyrics

Steve Earle Over Yonder

The warden said he?d mail my letter
Chaplain?s waitin? by the door
Tonight we?ll cross that yard together
Then they can?t hurt me anymore

Because I am going over yonder
Where no ghost can follow me
There?s another place beyond here
Where I?ll be free I believe

You can give my radio to Johnson
Thibodeaux can have my fan
Just send my Bible home to Mama
Call her every now and then

Because I am going over yonder
Where no ghost can follow me
There?s another place beyond here
Where I?ll be free I believe

I suppose I got it comin?
I can?t ever pay enough
And all my rippin? and a runnin?
I hurt everyone I loved

The world?ll turn around without me
The sun?ll come up in the east
Shinin? down on all of them that hate me
I hope my goin? brings ?em peace

Well I, I am going over yonder
Where no ghost can follow me
There?s another place beyond here
Where I?ll be free, yeah, that's what I believe
