Songwriters Van Zandt, Townes
Where I lead me I will travel
Where I need me I will call me
Im no fool, Ill be ready, God knows I will be
And in the meantime make a little money, buy a little mercy
Well, we met this morning, now she loves me
Says she loves me
It must be easy, look around you
All around you
But you see the motion, youre not movin
You dont know how to hold on
Just keep it loose, dont get excited
Itll pass before long
Now one is goin, one is stayin, one is silent, one is sayin
Well, heres your coat, take care of yourself
Im sorry youre leavin
Im a little sad, youre 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
Ive no doubt about it my friend, thats where theyll find me
Ask the boys down in the gutter
Now they wont lie cause you dont matter
The streets just fine if youre good and blind
But it aint where you belong
Just roll down your sleeves, pick up your money
And carry yourself home
Roll down your sleeves, pick up your money
And carry yourself home
