Go Ahead
-
I thought it would be fun to write a blues song from a perspective of a man, whose wife is threatening to leave. It’s kind of a lark – Go Ahead!
you said you're gonna leave me
if I don't change my ways
stop my drinking and my gambling
or you ain’t gonna to stay
you said you deserve better
you need a sensitive man
someone who's home for dinner
with flowers in his hand
I hate to break the news to you
I'm not the changin’ kind
I'd rather sit with my old dog
than listen to you whine
why don't you go ahead and go
I’ll never change my ways you know
no need to stay around and try
You know I'm gonna make you cry
when'd you get in in your head
I'd be someone I'm not
It must be somethin’ that you read
A romance story that you bought
Or listening to that preacher man
say that all you gotta do
Is work on changing me
Someday I'll be like new
Well there's the front door to the world
Don't let me hold you back
Get on with things while you still can
I'll even help you pack
why don't you go ahead and go
I’ll never change my ways you know
no need to stay around and try
You know I'm gonna make you cry
