Mother Earth
Well, you can't hide hurtin' me all the time
And you may never come my way
Mother Earth is waitin' for you
There's a debt that you got to pay
I don't care how rich you are
I don't care what you are
When it all comes down
You've got to go back to Mother Earth
Well, you may have a million dollars
And you may drive a Cadillac
You may have enough money
To buy anything you like
I don't care how rich you are
I don't care what you're worth
When it all comes down
You've got to, you've got to go back to Mother Earth
Well, I'm not afraid of dying
But there's one thing I can't forget
You know there's no one who's gone over there
Come back, and come back to talk me about it
Yet, I don't care, oh, I don't care how rich you are
I don't care what you're worth
When it all comes down
You got to, oh, you've got to go back to Mother Earth
Well, you can't hide hurtin' me all the time
And you may never come my way
Mother Earth is waitin' for you
There's a debt you've got to pay
I don't care how rich you are
I don't care what you're worth
I don't care what you're worth
Well, when it all comes down
You've got to go
You've got to go back to Mother
Whoa, Mother Earth
And you may never come my way
Mother Earth is waitin' for you
There's a debt that you got to pay
I don't care how rich you are
I don't care what you are
When it all comes down
You've got to go back to Mother Earth
Well, you may have a million dollars
And you may drive a Cadillac
You may have enough money
To buy anything you like
I don't care how rich you are
I don't care what you're worth
When it all comes down
You've got to, you've got to go back to Mother Earth
Well, I'm not afraid of dying
But there's one thing I can't forget
You know there's no one who's gone over there
Come back, and come back to talk me about it
Yet, I don't care, oh, I don't care how rich you are
I don't care what you're worth
When it all comes down
You got to, oh, you've got to go back to Mother Earth
Well, you can't hide hurtin' me all the time
And you may never come my way
Mother Earth is waitin' for you
There's a debt you've got to pay
I don't care how rich you are
I don't care what you're worth
I don't care what you're worth
Well, when it all comes down
You've got to go
You've got to go back to Mother
Whoa, Mother Earth
