Help Me Now Songtext
von Jerry Jeff Walker

Hear me now and use your love to listen well
′Cause I'm, I′m trying to tell you why
I know it's time for me to go

I drifted into the city to sing my songs of the gypsy life
"Be free, be kind, be strong," I sang at walls
And you came down to hold my head when the concrete beat me down
And we rested high in a nest in the wall, forgetting it all

So help me now, I do believe I'm sinking down
Yes I′m, I′m back on the ground
And I've found I′m bound to travel on

You only asked me to let you know whenever I had to go
I'm trying to let you know I′ll soon be gone
I want to clear all my thoughts in here
So you'll know you′re not to blame
It's those cats upstairs who handle my songs
And how they string me along


To love someone is to love someone
Forever is the moment you're in
A woman′s a world a man can rest inside
It′s a love that's sown with dreams
That the city keeps tearing on down
And can′t you see what you're loving in me
That′s my will to be free

So help me now, you understand I'm a freeborn man
And I do, I do love you so

But now I know it′s time for me to go

Got to go right now, baby
Got to go, got to go
Got to go right now, baby
Got my things packed and I'm ready to go
Go, got to go
Got to go right now, baby, I'm gone

Can′t you see, baby
Got to, got to go, baby, I′m gone, gone
