Fayetteville

When the mine played out I lived with sister for awhile
But her husband Billy never liked me anyhow
When I tried for unemployment, I was buried in red tape
Lord, lord, lord, show me the way and give me the will
Til then I’m livin’ on the streets of Fayetteville

Got a dog named Charlie, the best friend I ever had
We make the rounds, gather up the old tin cans
On a good day we can clear twenty dollars and some change
Lord, lord, lord, show me the way and give me the will
Til then I’m livin’ on the streets of Fayetteville

Fayetteville, Fayetteville
Gonna cross that bridge over New River Gorge
Gonna reach that far horizon where my dreams will be fulfilled
But til then I’m livin’ on the streets of Fayetteville

Now I found a ticket for a bus to Monterey
Brother Billy says that I should take the hint
He says sun shines every day and the streets are paved in gold
Lord, lord, lord, show me the way and give me the will
Til then I’m livin’ on the streets of Fayetteville

Fayetteville, Fayetteville
Gonna cross that bridge over New River Gorge
Gonna reach a far horizon where my dreams will be fulfilled
But til then I’m livin’ on the streets of Fayetteville
But til then I’m livin’ on the streets of Fayetteville
But til then I’m livin’ on the streets of Fayetteville
