He gave me a ring from a guitar string, that's nothing now
I'm feeling unwell, though in time I know I'm gonna be better

I don't care what your mother says, I don't care who your father is

I'm going down, down, down, unfamiliar ground
Down, down, down

Until then the wind and the road is what I've got, and that's medicine
So leave the red earth, yellow brittle grass behind, even your old crocodile
Let go of everything

I'm going down, down, down, unfamiliar ground
Down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, unfamiliar ground
Down, down, down
Can't keep those rings, all those silver pretty strings in tune forever
You can't keep those rings, all those silver pretty strings in tune forever

I don't care what your mother says, I don't care who your father is

I'm going down, down, down, unfamiliar ground
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, unfamiliar ground
Down, down, down
