Joseph Childress - Leaving The Barren Ground

This is what I got so far:


----------------------------------------------------
i hear you're staying ? in town
with the ? and the hunger in your eyes
when my train ? you weren't around
to see my boots hit the ground

i've been hearing of you and your friends
even when i loved you i still hated them
you proofed you were a jackal among men
you threw my love to the wind

i'd been seeking your ? for ?
i ended it with the gun the ?
to head our ways and look for a man
with blood in his eyes

i saw your gunman take my best friend
i melted into his ashes and was lifting by the wind
so i (then) decided to find what some called a home
and i made it my doorstep
barely flesh hardly bone

? don't take out my eyes
with that knife that you hold in your hands (oh)
this was neither one of our plans
to be each others end

i should have known long ago
when i saw your eyes lose their glow
that evening we not try to show
you have quite ?

you were the prophet in ?
and i was the only one close
from room to room you i would (?)
as i breathed in the cold

take your hands off the wheels (oh)
these are your summer days
where the (wheat?) can be your hideaway
and ? your ?
but as for me i'm hidden
to find someone
with a head full of troubles
that they ? into ?

my train is coming fast
please pick up your money and your pride
at the station where you left my side
where you bloodied my eyes
where you bloodied my eyes
----------------------------------------------------

thx in advance

Here what I could get, I hope someone else can help us.

Leaving The Barren Ground - Jospeh Childress

One two three, two two three

I hear you're staying back in town
with a ??happy then?? a hunger in your eyes
When my train ??blue?? pass you weren't around
to see my boots hit the ground

I've been hearing of you and your friends
Even when I loved you I still hated them
You proved you were a jackal among men
You threw my love to the wind

I'd been seeking your kind for a while
I ended it with a gun and a plan
To head our ways and look for a man
with blood in his eyes

I saw you're coming
Take my best friend
I melted into his ashes and was lifting by the wind
So Idecided to find what some called the home
and I made it to my door, still barely flesh hardly bone

Mama don't take out my eyes
with that knife that you hold in your hands (oh)
this was neither one of our plans
to be each others end

I should have known long ago
when I saw your eyes lose their glow
That evening when I tried to show you how quiet I've been

You were the prophet ??and naked beaten??
And I was the only one clothe
From room to room here I would swim
As I breathed in the cold

Take your hands off the wheels (oh)
These are your summer days
Where the wind can be your hideaway
and the pine trees your shade
But as for me I'm heading
to find someone
With a head full of troubles
that they ? to learn

My train is coming fast
Please pick up your money and your pride
At the station where you left my side
Where you bloodied my eyes
Where you bloodied my eyes

thank you that helped a lot
