Townes Van Zandt

Standin'

Well, I'm standin' with my head bowed down, now

That ain't right, that ain't wrong

It's just a feelin' but I can't shake it

Well, I keep on tryin' but it's been so long

If I hurt you, I did not mean to

I beg you pardon, I did not want to

When I leave you, don't you think about me?

Well, I won't be back babe, I'll be long gone

When the time comes and I'm not ready

Seems it's over before I'm started

Well, the time comes and I don't feel it

I don't know nothin' but my own

So I'm standin' with my head bowed down, now

And that ain't right, that ain't wrong

It's just a feelin' but I can't shake it

Well, I keep on tryin' but it's been so long

Our kingdoms into the sky go

And the highway like a river does flow

On my way sometimes it hurts so

On your way, just don't go home

So I'm standin' with my head bowed down now

That ain't right, that ain't wrong

It's just a feelin' but I can't shake it

Well, I keep on tryin' but it's been so long

Well, I'm standin' with my head bowed down now

That ain't right, that ain't wrong

It's just a feelin' but I can't shake it

Well, I keep on tryin' but it's been so long

Well, I'm standin' with my head bowed down now

That ain't right, that ain't wrong

It's just a feelin' but I can't shake it

Well, I keep on tryin' but it's been so long
