Steve Earle — Over Yonder Jonathans Song

[Verse 1] The warden said he'd mail my letter The chaplain's waiting by the door Tonight we cross that yard together And they can't hurt me anymore [Chorus] 'Cause I am going over yonder Where no ghosts follow me There's another place beyond here Where I'll be free, I believe [Verse 2] You can give my radio to Johnson Thibodeaux can have my fan Just send my Bible home to Mama Call her every now and then [Chorus] 'Cause I am going over yonder Where no ghosts follow me There's another place beyond here Where I'll be free, I believe [Verse 3] I suppose I got it coming I can't ever pay enough And all my rippin' and a-runnin' I hurt everyone I loved [Verse 4] And the world'll turn around without me The sun'll come up in the east Shinin' down on all of them that hate me I hope my going brings 'em peace [Chorus] But I am going over yonder Where no ghosts'll follow me There's another place beyond here Where I'll be free, that's what I believe
