John Stewart
Chorus:
I hope you understand I`ve a long way to go. Hope you understand because I told you so.
Well, as the people say, I will be comin` back this way, but until then, gal, you`re on your own.
I`m not the kind of guy just for hangin` `round. I`m bored to tears with this old town.
Well, if you behave, hey, I`ll send you a card from Santa Fe but until then, gal, you`re on your own.
(Chorus)
I`m gonna walk away. Don`t you come on along. I will be singin` a lonesome song.
It`s sad but true but I`ve just got to get away from you but until then, gal, you`re on your own.
(Chorus)
I could never stay upon the shelf where the wind and rain are never felt
But, hey, don`t cry. I`ll be comin` back, by and by, but until then, gal, you`re on your own.
(Chorus)
