Where I Lead Me - Steve Earle

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, says 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
