Standin'

Lyrics: Townes Van Zandt
Music: Townes Van Zandt

Sung by Greg Loiacono with Phil Lesh & Friends in 2019.

Chorus
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

[chorus]

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

[chorus]

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

[chorus]
I keep on tryin' but it's been so long
I keep on tryin' but it's been so long
