ferguson road

i'm gonna head on up to the old ferguson road

stand beneath the trees and see how tall i am

yes

i'm gonna wade in a cold

rocky stream

so i will be sure not to give a damn

no one ever loses anybody

but sometimes it's so hard to get along

i don't want to hang on to anybody

so before you say you're leaving

i'll be gone

i'm gonna head on up to old ferguson road

find myself a spot where the sun shines through

i'll throw some old mattress in the back of my bus

and get a good head start on forgetting you

you know i've never known anybody

who could ever make me feel this way

but no one gets to own anybody

you see

i have good reason when i say

i'm gonna head on up to the old ferguson road

stand beneath the trees and see how tall i am

yes

i'm gonna wade in a cold

rocky stream

so i will be sure not to give a damn
