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

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

Now I got to leave this place, oh-oh

Back to my sweet land, oh oh oh

Now I got to leave this place, oh-oh
D#m B G# B
Back to my sweet land

From the inlands to the shore

And we got the news today
[Chorus 2]
