Now, baby,
I don't want to put you on
I might hear the freight train whistle
But I'd be a long time gone
I don't want to hurt you, baby
So I better go
I've got other sides to see
And other seeds to sow
Every eagle's gotta learn to fly
And every river's gotta crossin'
To the other side I'm
leavin' in the mornin'
My bed's already rolled
I've got other thoughts for thinkin'
And other seeds to sow
My bag is bid free to do my
thing with fun and play
And I'm afraid if I don't leave
I might be here to stay
Well, baby, give me sweet
love while you can
Turn me off if that's your wish
For I'm an understanding man
I've made you an old promise,
it's so cool, the glowing gold
I've got other roads to hoe,
and other seeds to sow
My back is bent free to do
my thing of fun and play
And I'm afraid if I don't leave,
I might be here to stay
Well, baby, give me sweet
love while you can
Turn me off if that's your wish,
for I'm an understanding man
I've made you no promises,
so cool the glowing coals
I've got other roads to hoe,
and other seeds to sow.
I've got other roads to hoe,
and other seeds to sow.
