Help Me Now Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Hear me now and use your love to listen well 

'Cause I'm, I'm trying to tell you why I know 

It's time for me to go 

Drifted into the city to sing my songs of the gypsy life 

Be free, be kind, strong, I sang at walls and you came down 

To hold my head, when the concrete beat me down 

And we rested high in a nest in the wall, forgetting it all 

So help me now, I do believe I am sinkin' down 

Yes, I'm, I'm back on the ground and I've found 

I'm bound to travel on 

You've only asked me to let you know whenever I had to go 

I'm trying to let you know I'll soon be gone, I want it clear 

And my thoughts in here, so, you'll know you're not to blame 

Those cats upstairs who handle my songs, how they string me along 

Lovin' someone, is to love someone, forever is the moment you're in 

A woman's a world, a man can rest inside 

It's a love that's sown with dreams that the city keeps tearin' on down 

And can't you see what you are lovin' in me, is my will to be free 

So help me now to understand 

I'm a free born man and I do, I do love you so 

But now, I know, it's time for me to go 

Got to go right now, baby, got to go 

Got to go, got to go right now, baby 

Got things back there, a minute ago 

Go, got to go, got to go, got to go right now, baby 

I'm gone, got to go baby, I'm gone, gone
