Up to Me Roger McGuinn

Everything went from bad to worse
Money never changed a thing
Death kept followin', trackin' us down
At least I heard your bluebird sing
Now somebody's got to show their hand
Time is but an enemy
I know you're long gone
I guess it must be up to me

If I'd thought about it, I never would've done it
I guess I would've let it slide
If I'd have paid attention to what others were thinkin'
The heart inside of me would've died
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed
By enforced insanity
Well, someone had to reach for the rising star
I guess it was up to me

Well, the Union Central is pullin' out
The orchids are in bloom
I've only got me one good shirt left
And it smells like stale perfume
In fourteen months, I've only smiled once
I didn't do it consciously
Somebody's got to find your trail
And I guess it must be up to me
