Steve Earle — 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 In the meantime, make a little money Buy a little mercy Well, 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 moving You don't know how to hold on Just keep it loose, don't get excited It'll pass before long Now one is going, one is staying One is silent, one is saying Well, here's your coat, take care of yourself I'm sorry you're leaving I'm a little sad, you're all I had Will you be returning? The boys upstairs are getting 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
