Trying to Get to Heaven Before They Close the Door

You've got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend

When I was down you just stood there grinnin'

You've got a lotta nerve to say you got a helping hand to lend

You just want to be on the side that's winnin'

Positively 4^th Street, 1965

I can't feel you anymore

I can't even touch the books you've read

Every time I crawl past your door

I been wishin' I was somebody else instead

Idiot Wind, 1974

This is how I spend my days

I came to bury, not to praise

I'll drink my fill and sleep alone

I pay in blood but not my own

Pay in Blood, 2012

I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes

And just for that one moment I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes

You'd know what a drag it is to see you

Positively 4^th Street, 1965

Then time will tell

Who has fell

And who's been left behind

When you go your way and I go mine

Most Likely You’ll Go Your Way and I’ll Go Mine, 1966

It's a restless hungry feeling

That don't mean no one no good

When ev'rything I'm a-sayin'

You can say it just as good

You're right from your side

I'm right from mine

We're both just one too many mornings

And a thousand miles behind

One Too Many Mornings, 1964

Well I'm the enemy of treason

Enemy of strife

I'm the enemy of the unlived meaningless life

I ain't no false prophet

I just know what I know

I go where only the lonely can go

False Prophet, 2020

Mama put my guns in the ground

I can't shoot them anymore

That cold black cloud is comin' down

Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door, 1973
