Badlands

Take me on home girls
Let me have rest
From the badlands, from the badlands

Seen the bright side of life from here
I've been in places where they lived in fear
Of the badlands, oh those badlands

From North Dakota to the Crescent City
Southern Georgia with its girls so pretty
From the rivers of Oregon to San Diego
And Nova Scotia where the cold winds blow

Ain't so hard to earn a buck or two
Black lung from shining shoes
In the badlands, oh those badlands

So many colours, so many tongues
Forever asking what the white man's done
For the badlands, oh the badlands
