Terry Callier - I'd Rather Be With You lyrics

I could take my guitar and hit the road, try to be a star That sort of thing just don't appeal to me I could play some one night stands traveling light, a one man band But I know this is where I'd rather be It's your bright sunshine that lifted all the shadows off my mind Yeah your sweet love led me to a brighter day So you never have to worry 'bout me leaving you behind Wait and see, I won't ever turn away Cause you made my dream come true And gave my life new meaning too and more than anything I'd rather be with you Well I'd rather be with you babe if I could I'd rather be with you You know I'd rather be with you babe surely would You know I'd rather be with you Now this ghetto life is hard in our concrete front yard Nothing grows except a single tree to mark our place But the moment that I'm with you girl your light and love Shine through and then I realize you're my saving grace I could catch that old greyhound head up west and bum around Watch the sun set on the San Francisco Bay But you mean so much to me I could never put you down That would be to big a price for me to pay Cause you made my dream come true And gave my life new meaning too And more than anything I'd rather be with you I'd rather be with you babe if I could I'd rather be with you I'd rather be with you babe surely would I'd rather be with you I'd rather be with you I'd rather be with you
