I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am
Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold rocky stream
so I will be sure not to give a damn.
No one ever loses anybody
but sometimes it's so hard to get along
I don't want to hang on to anybody
so before you say you're leaving, I'll be gone.
Yes, I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
find myself a spot where the sun shines through
I'll throw some old mattress in the back of my bus
and get a good head start on forgetting you.
You know I've never known anybody
who could ever make me feel this way
but no one gets to own anybody
I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am
Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold rocky stream
so I will be sure not to give a damn,
I will be sure not to give a damn,
I want to be sure not to give a damn.
