the levee's gonna break
Singer:bob dylan
everybody saying this is a day only the lord could make
i got to the river and i threw my clothes away
i paid my time and now i'm good as new
i paid my time and now i'm as good as new. they can't take me back unless i want them to
some of these people gonna strip you of all they can take
i can't stop here i ain't ready to unload
i can't stop here i ain't ready to unload
riches and salvation can be waiting behind the next bend in the road
i picked you up from the gutter and this is the thanks i get
i picked you up from the gutter and this is the thanks i get
you say you want me to quit you
i see nobody other than me
i see nobody other than me
i see all that i am and all i hope to be
some of these people don't know which road to take
without you there's no meaning in anything i do
some people on the road carrying everything that they own
some people on the road carrying everything they own
some people got barely enough skin to cover their bones
put on your evening dress
put on your evening dress
few more years of hard work
i tried to get you to love me
but i won't repeat that mistake
plenty of cheap stuff out there and still around that you take
butter and eggs in my bed
butter and eggs in my bed
i ain't got enough room to even raise my head. come back
say we never more will part
say we never more will part
don't be a stranger with no brain or heart
