500 Miles East of Eden

from The New West by Bill White

lyrics

500 miles east of Eden
I am still looking for a home\But I see no rolling rivers
Im in a desert where nothing grows
No place to build a cabin
No place to sow my seeds
500 miles east of Eden
Where can I plant my family tree?

500 miles east of Eden
Ive been riding for so long
Since \i was thrown out of heaven\
Into a world where I dont belong
Give me back my rolling rivers
give me back my cotton seeds
500 miles east of Eden
Where can I plant my family tree?\

When I walked in pastures of plenty
I didnt know what i had
Living with the best intentions
Until I did something so bad

That they sent me away
500 miles east of Eden
Not a drop of water in sight
All I hear are locusts buzzin
All I see is endless night
500 miles east of Eden
I can run but I cant be free
500 miles east of Eden
No place to plant my family tree
