I was working up until I fell
I only went down, my ship had already sailed
I met a girl out in Memphis, is was going well I thought at first
She never said bye, she left when she I'd fell
And if I could understand
I'd probably get some rest at least
Would I fight to take a stand
In the middle of the fight
Never have to look out for the man
When I was movin' out the country
Found my lucky pardon, I was saved
Couldn't get out, I found not check in the mail
So I went up to Nashville
It was going well but then went stale
I couldn't get by, lucky to live to tell the tale
And if I could understand
I'd probably get some rest at least
Would I fight to take a stand
In the middle of the fight
Never have to look up for the man
And if I could understand
I'd probably get some rest at least
Would I fight to take a stand
In the middle of the fight
Never have to look out for the man
Said never look back
Never have to look out for the man
Now I'm living in the country I was working up until I fell I only went down, my ship had already sailed I met a girl out in Memphis, is was going well I thought at first She never said bye, she left when she I'd fell And if I could understand I'd probably get some rest at least Would I fight to take a stand In the middle of the fight Never have to look out for the man When I was movin' out the country Found my lucky pardon, I was saved Couldn't get out, I found not check in the mail So I went up to Nashville It was going well but then went stale I couldn't get by, lucky to live to tell the tale And if I could understand I'd probably get some rest at least Would I fight to take a stand In the middle of the fight Never have to look up for the man And if I could understand I'd probably get some rest at least Would I fight to take a stand In the middle of the fight Never have to look out for the man Said never look back Never have to look out for the man Explain Request ×
