Where I lead me I will travel
Where I need me I will call me
Well, 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
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, you're not movin'
And you don't know how to hold on
Just keep it loose
Don't get excited, you know it's gonna pass 'fore long
Well, one is goin', one is stayin'
One is silent, one is saying'
Well, here's your coat, take care of yourself
I'm sorry you're leavin'
And 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 and shake your head
And head to the country
Well, I got no doubt about it my friend
That's where they'll find me
Well, ask the boys down in the gutter
Well, 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
