Where I Lead Me — текст песни (Townes Van Zandt)

By townes van zandt



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

And buy a little mercy





Met this morning, now he loves me

Says he 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 saying

Heres your coat, take care of yourself

Sorry youre leavin

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

I got no doubt about it my friend

Thats where theyll find me

Thats where theyre gonna 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

Roll down your sleeves, pick up your money

And carry yourself home

Roll down your sleeves, pick up your money

And carry yourself home
