When I were living in the country,
I were working up until I fell,
I only went down,
My ship had already sailed.

I met a girl down in Memphis,
It was going well I thought at first,
She never said "bye",
She left when she knew I'd fail.

And if I could understand,
Might finally get some rest at last,
Would I fight to take a stand,
I'd never look back,
Never have to look out for the Man.

When I were moving out the country,
Thought my luck came by and I was saved,
Couldn't get out,
I found no cheque in the mail.

So I went up to Nashville,
It was going well but then went still,
I couldn't get by,
Lucky to live to tell the tale.

And if I could understand,
Might finally get some rest at last,
Would I fight to take a stand,
I'd never look back,
Never have to look out for the Man.

And if I could understand,
Might finally get some rest at last,
Would I fight to take a stand,
I'd never look back,
Never have to look out for the Man.

Said never look back,
Never have to look out for the Man.
