Where I Lead Me (Alternate version) Townes Van Zandt

[Verse 1]
Well now, where I lead me, I will travel
Ah, where I need me, I will call me
Well, 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

[Verse 2]
Ah, 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
And you don't know how to hold on
Just play it loose, don't get excited
You know it's gonna pass 'fore long

[Verse 3]
Well, one is going, one is staying
Ah, and one is silent, one is saying
"Ah, here's your coat, take care of yourself, I'm sorry you're leaving
Ain't a little sad, you're all I had, will you be returning?"

[Verse 4]
Well, the boys upstairs, they're getting hungry
You can shout in the wind about how it will be
Or you can clench your fist and shake your head, head to the country
Well, I got no doubt about it friends, that's where they'll find me
