Make amends

Well I left my home in a hurry
headed for the faraway hills
but now my poor heart's full of worry
was it worthwhile or just cheap thrills

Should I go or should I linger
oh woman, it's so hard to tell
I feel like I can't lift a finger
and I'm not feeling all that well

The road has dangers and strange cares
I should be looking for some friends
the load sometimes is too heavy to bear
oh sweet lord we must make amends

         make amends for the heartache
         and the shiver in the night
         make amends for the madness
         and the feverish old fright
         make amends for the monsters 
         moving freely in my mind
         I just never knew
         no misery like this kind
