about

It was Dylan who made me want to write songs and this 1971 effort probably shows it. I realized you could tell a story but also that each verse could stand alone, as an opportunity to make a statement.

lyrics

Come with me come with me don't be afraid
we've got years in the future and a foot in the grave
I left my only woman on a cold dark night
in a beer bar fight on the highway
she didn't even miss me she was havin a time
it was saturday night she was tippin that wine

2.
laugh with me laugh with me don't you think it plain
ain't no beauty in this world all the landscapes are lame
some break their backs for a buck not me
somethin I can't see kind of lazy
I don't need much money I just wanna be high
sittin on my sofa with my head in the sky

3.
listen to me listen to me ain't the weather fine
the wind is blowin seasons and the summer is mine
catch a freight for Phoenix see America
pass through Broken Jaw on the way
I got my bruises early I may never get old
I'm poor free ain't no prisoner in no foreclosure home

4.
live a little give a little fiddle your way through
try to keep your mother's child from slippin in the stew
far off in the city where nothing grows
where the wise guy goes he's silly
I'll just sit by Lake Superior sing a rural song
keep my feet a dancin as I'm lookin around
