Where I Lead Me

By townes van zandt



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

And buy a little mercy





Met this morning, now he loves me

Say's he 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 saying'

Here's your coat, take care of yourself

Sorry you're leavin'

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 got no doubt about it my friend

That's where they'll find me

That's where they're gonna 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

Roll down your sleeves, pick up your money

And carry yourself home

Roll down your sleeves, pick up your money

And carry yourself home
