I searched all over for these lyrics. I finally gave up, muted CMT while the video played so I could see the closed captioning, and typed fast. I hope these are right. Enjoy!
The Lowlands
I'm headed for the lowlands
Won't you please direct my way?
Train is leaving
Surely there's no time for delay
She told me she'd be waiting
I'm not so sure she is
I heard that there's another man
Who claims that she is his
The lowlands were my home when I was but a child
They will be my deathbed when I've passed my time
I remember one summer day
The clouds began to build
We gathered the cattle
As chance scanned across the fields
It started to rain and continued several days
The river overflowed and the crops all went to waste
The lowlands were my home when I was but a child
They will be my deathbed when I've passed my time
You know that I'm no failure though my victories are few
I'm trying my best but there's too much here to do
That girl I loved once told me I made her feel secure
It's hard to think I've been replaced and nothing does endure
The lowlands were my home when I was but a child
They will be my deathbed when I've passed my time
