They handed me a hammer
And sent me off alone
With a name out of the Bible
To remind me where I’m from
I went without direction
I went out of control
I had no home
I saw the reservations
And the guns that shoot all night
The town was empty but the ghosts there
Kept me up all night
And no one came to see me
I was there alone
I had no home
Whiskey was the river
And me I was the duck
I lived down at the bottom
And I could not get up
At first I thought I’d found it
Somewhere I belonged
But I had no home
But then things started crumbling
And I knew it had to change
But once you get so far you
Can’t go back the way you came
And every day was somehow
Worse than the one before
I had no home
When I ran out of money
I had nowhere left to go
I was sleeping in a tavern
In exchange for sweeping floors
And no one came to free me
But I made it out alone
Now I’m going home
They handed me a hammer
And sent me off alone
With a name out of the Bible
To remind me where I’m from
So I’m leaving here tomorrow
And my feet will never slow
I’m going home
