Lyric Standin

by Townes Van Zandt

I m standin with my bowed head down now
that ain t right that ain t wrong
It s just a feelin but I can t shake it
I keep on tryin but it s been so long


If I hurt you I did not mean to
I beg you pardon I did not want to
When I leave you don t you think about me
I won t be back babe I ll be long gone


When the time comes and I m not ready
seems it s over before I m started
The time comes and I don t feel it
I don t know nothin but my own


Kingdoms into the sky go
and the highway like a river does flow
and my way sometimes it hurts so
and your way just don t go home
