Help Me Now - Jerry Jeff Walker

Hear me now and use your love to listen well

'Cause I’m, I’m trying to tell you why I know

It’s time for me to go

Drifted into the city to sing my songs of the gypsy life

Be free, be kind, strong, I sang at walls and you came down

To hold my head, when the concrete beat me down

And we rested high in a nest in the wall, forgetting it all

So help me now, I do believe I am sinkin' down

Yes, I’m, I’m back on the ground and I’ve found

I’m bound to travel on

You’ve only asked me to let you know whenever I had to go

I’m trying to let you know I’ll soon be gone, I want it clear

And my thoughts in here, so, you’ll know you’re not to blame

Those cats upstairs who handle my songs, how they string me along

Lovin' someone, is to love someone, forever is the moment you’re in

A woman’s a world, a man can rest inside

It’s a love that’s sown with dreams that the city keeps tearin' on down

And can’t you see what you are lovin' in me, is my will to be free

So help me now to understand

I’m a free born man and I do, I do love you so

But now, I know, it’s time for me to go

Got to go right now, baby, got to go

Got to go, got to go right now, baby

Got things back there, a minute ago

Go, got to go, got to go, got to go right now, baby

I’m gone, got to go baby, I’m gone, gone
