Till I Return Lyrics by Sam Barber
Help me load the truck, I already packed my bags
I gotta go now, I don’t know when I’ll be back
The life I live is taking my soul
If you weren’t sticking around then I’d lose all hope
I’m digging oil for the company man
He’s getting rich, well I get calloused hands
And about my life he could give a damn
See I got bills to pay but he needs more than
Though this journey has been cold
There’s a fire burning in my soul
And in this dark pit I’m in I wonder if you waited till I return
Till I return
Till I return
My blood’s engraved in this here boat
If you fall overboard it better pretty card you float
The air I breathe’s full of dust and smoke
My body’s worn out but I’ll rest it when I’m whole
There were many that fell before
But I’ve looked death in the eyes and told them I ain’t going
What’s the problem with dirt on my hands
This is what I do, this is who I am
Though this journey has been cold
There’s a fire burning in my soul
And in this dark pit I’m in I wonder if you waited
till I return
Till I return
Till I return
