Now I dream about big house by the side of Laurel Creek
We're sittin' there in rockin’ chairs with children at our feet
We’ve got a dog called Music and a mule to ride to town
That's all I ever wanted if I ever settled down

When a boy from Texarkana met a girl who'd take his name
Thought the love they made and the vows they gave always would remain
Was a garden full of thorns but the roses smelled so sweet
What was bound together was bound to break at the hands of love's deceit

On the road to Jubilee take me back in time
Before I left for Tennessee living on memories
On the road to Jubilee I keep a picture in my mind
And I'm countin' down the days ’til they set me free
’Til I'm walkin' down the road to Jubilee


Now it's dark and cold and lonely inside these prison walls
And I'm not to blame for a dead man's crime but still I took the fall
I've lost so many hours that I know I'll never find
Now I count the days ’til I walk away and leave this all behind

Across the cotton fields I hear the church bells ringin'
Listen to the choir hear the spiritual singin'
Like sweet magnolia blossoms in the spring
Bringin' me back again, bringin' me back again
