I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am
Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold rocky stream
so I will be sure not to give a damn.
No one ever loses anybody
but sometimes it's so hard to get along
I don't want to hang on to anybody
so before you say you're leaving, I'll be gone.
Yes, I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
find myself a spot where the sun shines through
I'll throw some old mattress in the back of my bus
and get a good head start on forgetting you.
You know I've never known anybody
who could ever make me feel this way
but no one gets to own anybody
you see, I have good reason when I say:
I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am
Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold rocky stream
so I will be sure not to give a damn,
I will be sure not to give a damn,
I want to be sure not to give a damn.
