Kate & Anna McGarrigle - On My Way to Town lyrics

On my way to town Got my money in my secret pocket On my way to town Till I get there I won't turn around I'm dropping pebbles in my tracks I will not get lost when I come back On my way to town Got my lunch tucked in another pocket On my way to town And I will only stop to wash it down Cool water is good enough Can't waste my gold on finer stuff Got to keep your mind on the maps Feet on the ground and your eyes on the traps Jewels that shine and pleasures that blind Ties that bind and you're left behind I know this road I was on it a long time ago I know this road And I know every mine that could explode You gotta keep walking on through the rain Trees that shelter fall and bring you pain And when I get to town I will go straight to market When I get to town I will do my best until the sun goes down And come the end of day I'll look for the stones I dropped along the way
