This is "Comin' Down"
I thought I'd stay to love you just one more night
But somewhere I was blinded by the bright lights
I had to break the chains and travel out on my own
But now I'm lost; a hell of a long way from home
And its all over but for coming down
I'm ridin' in this boxcar and I'm headed for another town
It's all over but for coming down
And I've been comin' down a long, long time
I've known some high class women and I've slept in there mighty fine places
I've grown so tired of staring at people without faces
I thought the grass was greener over on the other side
But now there's not a pasture
That I haven't tried
And it's all over now and I really do hate to leave
I've taken all my chances, I've worn my heart on my sleeve
And it's all over now but I really would like to see
Of all the things my stubborn pride
Just wouldn't let me see
And it's all over but for coming down
I'm ridin in this boxcar and I'm headed for another town
It's all over but for coming down
And I've been comin' down a long, long time
Any y'all fi' can talk to me of the things I left undone
I'd do em better tomorrow if tomorrow would only come
Sweet Garden of Eden, my heaven and my hell on earth
I don't believe in fairy tales and haven't found the first
And it's all over now and I really did hate to leave
I've taken all my chances and worn my heart on my sleeve
And it's all over now, but i really would like to see
All the things my stubborn pride just wouldn't let me see
But it's all over but for coming down
I'm ridin' in this boxcar and I'm ah headed for another town
It's all over but for coming down
And I've been comin' down a long, long time...
