So far out in this world washcloth can't be found

I'm my mama's poor child and I've just been drifting around

So far out in this world I can't hear Jimmie Reed

That's someplace I never thought poor me would be

So far out in this world no family can I find

You invite to your family, but I sure lord do miss mine

So far out in this world seasoning salt been my best friend

If I didn't carry it all the time lord knows the shape I'd be in

So far out in this world y'all don't nod ya head

So far out in this world y'all don't speak nod ya head

You act like you're my people, but wouldn't care if I was dead

So far out in this world seasoning ain't something you do

You leave it on table and wait until the cooking is through

So far out in this world I can't shake grandma hand

I'm at my own home, but I feel like I'm in some foreign land

I ain't got nobody I'm all here by myself

I might as well make it when I sure ain't got nobody else

I got to carry y'all in my heart to give my mind some ease

And let every place I hang my hat seem like home to me

Out in This World
