routes where the creeks ran in my blood
California chasing a long lost love
she said out west things ain't the same
But I was eighteen, I was a grown man,
I guess I'm the one to blame
And my brother called yesterday,
said he's still living down south
He said that he got thrown in jail and he's
wanting my help to try and get him out
But I ain't got no money,
I've just got this measly chain
I never should have lost that job,
that makes me the one to blame
Still searching for my sweet
I frequent all the taverns and bars
I know she headed out west
She gonna be in the movies
I never should have tried to keep her here
I got in the way of her dreams
I like to think I love her too much
In the times they got to me and sent me overseas
I wasn't scared but I was lonely, it wasn't
and I couldn't get away I'm still
stuck here in this camp and they
They say I'm the one to blame
Aaah, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo,
