Townes Van Zandt

Greensboro Woman

Greensboro woman don't you smile on me

I do not feel like being comforted

And anyway I'll be home soon

For once is someone waitin' there

And if you don't mind, I just think on her instead

Your face, she's a picture, babe pictures ain't what I crave

I don't feel this way most generally

I just pit a thousand miles 'tween me and where my thoughts do lie

And I thank you kindly baby to kindly let me be

Your car, she's smooth and fast

Babe, your bourbon's fine but I ain't feelin' free and clear today

Texas loving layin' on my mind

I couldn't do you right babe spinnin' round this way

So, Greensboro woman don't you smile on me

I do not feel like being comforted

And anyway I'll be home soon

For once is someone waitin' there

And if you don't mind, I just think on her instead
