Don't you [C] let the lessons stop.
Time ain't just [Cm] hands on a clock.
That's what I'm [C] gonna tell Pop when [G] I leave.
A [C] vision on the lonely road.
It's something that I've gotta [Cm] know if I can drive [G] this car all on [C] my own.
I guess I'll leave my girl behind.
I should have done that long ago sometime.
I'm sure the pain will go away.
[G] It [C] wasn't working anyhow.
The burners on the stove burnt out.
A shame I didn't figure it out before.
Girls gather round and let that long hair down.
Sing along with me before [G] I go.
[C] Let us have drink and by God don't let us think about the things that we [G] ain't never gonna [C] know.
I met a man in San Francisco.
He told me he did the [Bb] same thing fifty years ago.
[Cm] He [C] left his girl behind.
[G]
Now [C] he sits there in the park one hand.
He's [F] strumming his guitar.
[C] Songs he found [G] inside a bottle [C] of wine.
I [Cm] saw the [C] same things on his face.
The ones that made me [Bb] race away from [C] everything I'd ever really [G] known.
The [C] scare to take responsibility [F] from here and put her there where [C]
everyone can [G] see the seeds [C] you've sown.
[Am] Girls gather [C] round and let that long hair down.
Sing along with me before I [G] go.

[Am] Let us have [C] drink and by God don't let us think about the things that we [G] ain't never gonna [C] know.
If you think about the creature that you might have thought would teach you that our hearts, they're just a thing right from the [G] start.
It would [C] keep us from the worry safe, from sound and safe, from fury safe at home besides [G] the ones we know we [C] love.
And if you [Cm] told me from the start that [C] I could never [F] be apart from her, I'd [C] tell you go to hell, get out of my way.
[G]
Now [C] I come back with my tail between my legs.
[F] I didn't know the way I'm [C] paying.
Can't be a [G] man all on his [C] own.
Girls gather round and let that long hair down.
I [Am] sing a song [C] I learned out on [G] the road.
[Am] Let us have [C] drink but still by God don't let us think about the [F] things that we ain't [G] never gonna [C] know.
The sun is going down on this lonesome town, but I've got you here to keep my [G] company.

For that reason [G] I won't ever let [C] you go.
