Steve Earle - Where I Lead Me lyrics
[Steve Earle - Where I Lead Me lyrics]
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
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
