Lincoln County

I've gotta get a train, take me back home again

See my daddy, momma wants to see me too

I'm gonna see my momma looking through the window

At the station in the morning, been a few mornings since I've been home



I've been doing wrong but now I'm going home

So come on girls, you better put your best boots on



'Cause when I get home to Lincoln County, won't know which way to go

I'm gonna find all those pretty girls, I'm gonna find them all

'Cause when I get home to Lincoln County, gonna lift the lid off hell

Drink some beer, I'm gonna live it swell, then gonna shout for more



Well, I bought a new suit at the best pawn broker's shop

Bought my ticket from money that I saved in jail

I got a boot lace tie, I got for my pa

I got a head scarf, fair, I got for my momma that she won't wear



I've been doing wrong but now I'm going home

So come on girls, you better put your best boots on



'Cause when I get home to Lincoln County, won't know which way to go

I'm gonna find all those pretty girls, I'm gonna find them all

'Cause when I get home to Lincoln County, gonna lift the lid off hell

Drink some beer, gonna live it swell, then gonna shout for more



Yeah, now I've gotta get a train, take me back home again

See my daddy, momma wants to see me too



'Cause when I get me back to Lincoln County, gonna lift the lid off hell

Drink some beer, gonna live it swell, then gonna shout for more

'Cause when I get back to Lincoln County, gonna lift the lid off hell

Drink some beer, gonna live it swell, then gonna shout for more



'Cause when I get home to Lincoln County, don't know which way to go

I'm gonna find all those pretty girls, I'm gonna find them all
