lyrics

i'm headed for the lowlands
please direct my way
the train is leaving shortly
there's no time for delay

she told me she'd be waiting
i'm not so sure she is
i heard that there's another man
claims that she is his

lowlands was my home
when i was but a child
they will be my deathbed
when i pass my time

it started in one summer day
clouds began to build
we gathered the cattle
that had scattered across the field

and it started in to rainin
and continued several days
the river overflowed and
the crops all went to waste

lowlands was my home
when i was but a child
they will be my deathbed
when i pass my time

you know that i'm no failure
but my victories are few
i'm trying my best
but there's too much here to do

that girl i love once told me
i made her feel secure
it's hard to think i've been replaced
nothing does endure

lowlands was my home
when i was but a child
they will be my deathbed
when i pass my time
