From the recording All Aboard The Slo Train
Traditional songwriters had a knack for taking a sad subject and writing a happy sounding song about it. This song pairs well with "My Way Back Home to You".
Lyrics
I'm going down the road feeling bad
I'm going down the road feeling bad
I'm going down the road feeling bad
I ain't a'gonna be treated this a way.
I'm blowing down this long dusty road,
I'm blowing down this long dusty road,
I'm blowing down this long dusty road,
I ain't a'gonna be treated this a way
[chorus]
I'm going where the chilly winds don't blow
I'm going where the chilly winds don't blow
I'm going where the chilly winds don't blow
I ain't a'gonna be treated this a way
[chorus]
I'm going where the water tastes like wine
I'm going where the water tastes like wine
I'm going where the water tastes like wine
I don't wanna be treated this a way
[chorus]
verses that we don't sing:
Going where the climate suits my clothes
I'm going where the climate suits my clothes
Going where the climate suits my clothes
Don't wanna be treated this a way
I'm down in the jailhouse on my knees
Down in the jailhouse on my knees
Down in the jailhouse on my knees, lord, lord
And I ain't a-gonna be treated this a-way
