Tonight it's cold and the rain is falling
This city's cold and dark just like a tomb
A year ago I wished I had a million
But tonight I wish that I could leave this room

And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I'd buy you a K-Car
A nice reliant automobile
And if I had a million dollars I'd buy your love
Dodging lions and a-wasting time

I hold this letter in my hand
A plea, a petition, a kind of prayer
I hope it does as I have planned
Losing her again is more than I can bear
I kiss the cold, white envelope
I press my lips against her name
Two hundred words
We live in hope
The sky hangs heavy with rain
Love Letter, love letter
Go get her, go get her
Love Letter, love letter
Go tell her, go tell her
when the going gets weird, weir turns pro

I don't care how much money I gotta spend
Got to get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home
My baby, just-a wrote me a letter
Dodging lions and a-wasting time
In memory of ChiefScott

But it's all right cause I love you, and that's not going to change.
Run me around and make me hurt again and again.
But I'll still sing you love songs, written in the letters of your name.
The rain is gonna come, oh it surely looks like rain

When your day is long
And the night, the night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough
Of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries
Everybody hurts sometimes
Dodging lions and a-wasting time
In memory of ChiefScott

You say you've seen it all
You don't care to see no more
But you don't get up an go
until they throw you out the door
It's a long long long long way to go home

When life is too much
Roll with it, baby
Don't stop and lose your touch
Oh no, baby
Hard times knocking on your door

Get up in the morning and it's just another day
Pack up my belongings I got to get away
Jump into a taxi and the time is getting tight
I got to keep a moving I got a show tonight
And I'm moving on, moving on from town to town
Moving on baby never see the dirt in the ground
Dodging lions and a-wasting time
In memory of ChiefScott

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playin' pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand
Oh, Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
You made a first-class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway

In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers
Used to watch 'em through the glass
Well, I'd stand outside at closing time
Just to watch her walk on past
Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet
As she made her way alone down that empty street
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet

Found someone who can comfort me, but there are always exceptions
And she's good at appearing sane, but I just want you to know
She's the one makes me feel so good, when everything is against me
Picks me up when I'm feeling down, so I've got something to show
Staring at empty pages, centered 'round the same old plot
Staring at empty pages, flowing along the ages
Dodging lions and a-wasting time

And it's good old country comfort in my bones
Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known
Just an old-fashioned feeling fully-grown
Country comfort's in a truck that's going home

Just an old fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old fashioned love song
Coming down in three part harmony
Dodging lions and a-wasting time

Hello lamppost, what'cha knowing
I've come to watch your flowers growin'
Ain't you got no rhymes for me?
Doo-ait-n-doo-doo, feeling groovy
Ba da-da da-da da-da, feeling groovy

Watcha gonna do on the planet today
Missy you're so fine to see
And where ya gonna go on the planet today
Missy come and play with me
Take a look around ya now and
What do you see?
If you could go somewhere else now,
Where would that be?
When the find the place to hide
Come and tell me where it is now,
I'll still be sitting here, singing in the air

Emily tries but misunderstands, ah ooh
She's often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams till tomorrow
There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind and play
Free games for May
See Emily play

I'm free
I'm free
And freedom tastes of reality
I'm free
I'm free
And I'm waiting for you to follow me

I first heard it from Rick von Schmidt
He lives in Cambridge
Rick's a blues guitar player
I met him one day in the
Green pastures of Harvard University
Baby, let me follow you down
Baby, let me follow you down
Well, I'd do anything in this God Almighty world
If you just let me follow you down
