Where I Lead Me
|
by Townes Van Zandt
|
|
Where i lead me i will travel
|
Where i need me i will call me
|
I'm no fool, i'll be ready
|
God knows i will be
|
And in the meantime make a little money
|
And buy a little mercy
|
|
Met this morning, now he loves me
|
Say's he loves me
|
It must be easy, look around you
|
all around you
|
But you see the motion, you're not movin'
|
You don't know how to hold on
|
Just keep it loose
|
Don't get excited, it'll pass before long
|
|
Now one is goin' one is stayin'
|
One is silent one is saying'
|
Here's your coat, take care of yourself
|
Sorry you're leavin'
|
A little sad you're all i had
|
Will you be returnin'
|
|
The boys upstairs are gettin' hungry
|
You can shout in the wind about how it will be
|
or you can clench your fist, shake your head
|
And head to the country
|
I got no doubt about it my friend
|
That's where they'll find me
|
That's where they're gonna find me
|
|
Ask the boys down in the gutter
|
Now they won't lie cause you don't matter
|
The street's just fine if you're good and blind
|
But it ain't where you belong
|
Roll down your sleeves, pick up your money
|
and carry yourself home
|
Roll down your sleeves, pick up your money
|
and carry yourself home
|
|
