Chorus:
Well I've been gone
I've been gone for far too long
And the next time I leave you'd better believe
I'm taking you with me
'Cause the road that I'm on
Lord it is wide and it is long
Darling you're the one that I want to accompany me
'Cause those men down there around Memphis I know there gonna ask a whole lot of questions
And they talk in that funny way I can't always understand
The first question is always "How you doin'?"
They don't hesitate in their demands
The second one is always "Have you got a man?" "Have you got a man?"
Chorus:
From the bread lines to the signs of the hard times
Everywhere they're just about the same
Poor people getting done dirt
Nobody to take the blame
From the L.A. smog
To the San Francisco fog
To the dust that settles out on the plains
I'd rather be walking with you in that cold Seattle rain
Chorus:
