Over Yonder (Jonathan's Song)

[Verse 1]

The warden said he'd mail my letter

The chaplain's waiting by the door

Tonight we cross that yard together

And they can't hurt me anymore

[Chorus]

'Cause I am going over yonder

Where no ghosts follow me

There's another place beyond here

Where I'll be free, I believe

[Verse 2]

You can give my radio to Johnson

Thibodeaux can have my fan

Just send my Bible home to Mama

Call her every now and then

[Chorus]

'Cause I am going over yonder

Where no ghosts follow me

There's another place beyond here

Where I'll be free, I believe

[Verse 3]

I suppose I got it coming

I can't ever pay enough

And all my rippin' and a-runnin'

I hurt everyone I loved

[Verse 4]

And the world'll turn around without me

The sun'll come up in the east

Shinin' down on all of them that hate me

I hope my going brings 'em peace

[Chorus]

But I am going over yonder

Where no ghosts'll follow me

There's another place beyond here

Where I'll be free, that's what I believe
