Migrant Lyrics & Chords By Tony Joe White

I know that your wheat fields need workin'
And there's just time
Before the rain starts to fall
But I can not stay for the harvest
Cause tonight I'm headin' down south
Goodbye I'll see y'all

I hear there's a pipeline hirin' hands in Texas
So I guess I'll go and BRush a well or two
Can you wait until I make enough
To get us through the winter
For the days are short and cold and work is scarce
The fragrance of your hair is in each meadow
And your smile has touched the wind

And as I work my way closer to you
It feels so good to be close to home again Lord
When the leaves fall from the trees look out your window
And you'll see me a-coming up the road
Run as fast as you can out to meet me
And throw your arms around me
Cause baby I'm home
