Am F
We speak in broken American

From the inlands to the shores

From the high plains to the bad lands

From the mountains to the valley floor

And the streets were now paved with gold

Every man would find a wage
Am F
But now I don't know where to go
D F Am
To work the live-long day
[Chorus]

Now I got to leave this place, oh-oh
Em Am
Back to my sweet land, oh oh oh
C G
Now I got to leave this place, oh-oh
Am F D F
Back to my sweet land
