Back Home East letra

Chainsaw me a pallet to keep us warm through the night
I gone left out the gas on the porch in the plain sight
You've been gone a while, and well as far as I can see
You came back home east just to take care of me
Your Appalachian mother is doin' fine in her age
I've eaten my peaches and beaten decay
If you're thinking of leavin' cause I'm doing ok
I'll trip on my shoe lace and fall on my face

In other words, I'd love your you to stay
But if you are not needed I know that you'll stray
So fill me up a kettle, pour me some tea
Chainsaw me a pallet go on and take care of me

I know that you left your family
To come and take care of me
I know that you missing your newborn
If you want I can cry and scream
Cause you'll be my favorite child
If you tell me you'll stay a while
Honey, I'll love you more than the rest
At least for some time

In other words, I'd love for you to stay
'Cause I miss my children more every day
And I find peace of mind
Knowin' we had our time together
