Back Road Into Town (回乡的路) (Single Version) - The Staple Singers[00:00:00]

I asked Mama many times[00:00:13]

What kept Papa so far behind[00:00:16]

What in the world was holding my Daddy down[00:00:20]

Papa always dropped his head[00:00:26]

Lord he seemed so afraid[00:00:29]

Like he was carryin' a heavy burden all the time[00:00:32]

There was a man up in the big house[00:00:39]

Papa was afraid to speak out[00:00:43]

The man kept my Daddy's nose right on the ground[00:00:46]

Yeah your Papa he was mighty good[00:00:52]

He was doin' the best he could[00:00:56]

All his life he lived just for you[00:01:00]

Twelve kids he had a heavy load[00:01:06]

He couldn't walk the front road[00:01:10]

On his face he always wore a frown[00:01:13]

It was for you and the others too[00:01:19]

He was tryin' to make it through[00:01:22]

He had to take the back road into town[00:01:26]

Every year your Papa would say[00:01:33]

Next year I'm gonna move away[00:01:36]

I wanna take my children away from here[00:01:39]

He said I've almost lost my fear[00:01:45]

I think I see my way clear[00:01:48]

I'm gonna take a stand and be a man[00:01:52]

But then the man would come from the big house[00:01:58]

Daddy would always back out[00:02:02]

And end up right again behind the plow[00:02:06]

Twelve kids he had a heavy load[00:02:12]

He couldn't walk the front road[00:02:15]

On his face he always wore a frown[00:02:19]

It was for you and the others too[00:02:25]

He was tryin' to make it through[00:02:28]

He had to take the back road into town[00:02:32]

When he finally made up his mind[00:02:39]

Your Daddy had wasted too much time[00:02:42]

Your Papa just put it off a little too long[00:02:45]

'Cause all the years that Papa was sleepin'[00:02:51]

The time kept right on creepin'[00:02:54]

'Til it was time for him to lay his body down[00:02:58]

He did it all against his will[00:03:04]

He got lost back in them fields[00:03:07]

My Daddy never made it into town[00:03:11]

Twelve kids he had a heavy load[00:03:18]

He couldn't walk the front road[00:03:21]

On his face he always wore a frown[00:03:25]

It was for you and the others too[00:03:31]

He was tryin' to make it through[00:03:34]

He had to take the back road into town[00:03:38]

Twelve kids he had a heavy load[00:03:44]

He couldn't walk the front road[00:03:48]

On his face he always wore a frown[00:03:51]

It was for you and the others too[00:03:57]

He was tryin' to make it through[00:04:00]

He had to take the back road into town[00:04:04]

Twelve kids he had a heavy load[00:04:09]
