Where I Lead Me Lyrics - Sunshine Boy: The Unheard Studio Sessions & Demos 1971-1972 - 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, 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
