Standard (EADGBE)

Where in hell can you go

 Far from the things that you know

Far from the sprawl of concrete

 That keeps crawling its way

 About a thousand miles a day

Take one last look behind

 Commit this to memory and mind

 Don't miss this wasteland, this terrible place

 When you leave

 keep your heart off your sleeve

Chorus

 Motherland, cradle me

 Close my eyes

 Lullaby me to sleep

 Keep me safe

 Lie with me

Stay beside me

 Don't go

 Don't you go

Verse

Oh, my five and dime queen

Tell me what have you seen

The lust and the avarice

The bottomless, cavernous greed

Is that what you see?

Chorus

Motherland cradle me

Close my eyes

Lullaby me to sleep

Keep me safe

Lie with me

Stay beside me

Don't go

Don't you go

Bridge

 It's your happiness

 I want most of all

 And for that I'd do anything at all

 Oh, mercy me

 If you want the best of love

 Or the most from life

 If there's anything I can do at all

Verse

Now come on shot gun bride

What makes me envy your life

The faceless, the nameless

The innocent, the blameless

And free

What's it like to be?

Chorus

Motherland, cradle me

Close my eyes

Lullaby me to sleep

Keep me safe

Lie with me

Stay beside me

Don't go

 Don't you go
