Wait Not For Me

Wipe the sadness from your eyes
Force me not to tell you lies
While i lay here next to you
Keep the fire warm and bright
Make me last all through the night
Take from me all that you can
Fall asleep on me
And in your dreams you'll see
That there ain't no way
That you can tie me down
And when morning breaks
And you awake
I won't be around
No where to be found
I'll be far away


Wait not for me
While i'm young and free
I will stay but for a day
And you will see me
Come and go away
Wait not for me
While i'm young and free
I will stay but for a day
And you will see me
Come and go away


I keep my heart locked in a box
No loving woman is enough
Cause the road i travel's
Got a hold on me
I ain't got no home address
Never striving for success
I just live from day to day
I lay my body down
On the barren ground
Camp fire light will keep me
Warm and safe from harm
And when morning breaks
To the road i take
I won't be around
Nowhere to be found
I'll be far away
