Townes Van Zandt — Standin' - Original lyrics

Lyrics

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 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
The time comes and I don’t feel it I don’t know nothin' but my own
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
Oh, kingdoms into the sky go and the highway like a river does flow
oh, and my way sometimes it hurts so oh and 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
