Different Drum - Michael Nesmith

Well you and I

Travel to the beat of a different drum

Can’t you tell by the way I run

Every time you make eyes at me

Yes, you cry and moan

And say it’ll work out

But honey child I’ve got my doubts

You can’t see the forest for the trees

Now don’t get me wrong

It’s not that I knock it

It’s just that I am not in the market

For a girl

Who wants to love only me

And I’m not saying that you ain’t pretty

All’s I saying’s that I’m not ready

For any person place or thing

To try and pull the reins

In on me

Well I feel pretty sure

That you’ll find a man

Who will take a lot more than I ever could or can

And you’ll settle down with him

And I know that you’ll be happy

So goodbye

I’m a-leavin'

I see no sense in you cryin' and grievin'

We’ll both live a lot longer

If you live without me

Well I feel pretty sure

That you’ll find a man

Who will take a lot more than I ever could or can

And you’ll settle down with him

And I know that you’ll be happy

So goodbye

I’m a-leavin'

I see no sense in you cryin' and grievin'

We’ll both live a lot longer

If you live without me

If you live without me, woman

If you live with out me
