Where I Lead Me

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, buy a little mercy

Well, we met this morning, now she loves me

Say's she 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 sayin'

Well, here's your coat, take care of yourself

I'm sorry you're leavin'

I'm 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've no doubt about it my friend, that's where they'll 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

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
