People's Blues Of Richmond Go Home lyrics

I've changed, I've changed
I've come a long, long way
I've been clean and sover now for a month and a day
I got myself a job,
and my rent is even paid; but wait.
I cannot maintain.

Burn, burn, burn,
I wanna learn to unlearn,
I wanna go out to the point of no return
You go home
I'll go out you; you go home.

I'm saved, I'm saved,
I've learned to behave,
No more dark thoughts about an early grave
I've learned to live my life like an obediant little slave;
but wait.
I cannot maintain.


Self-destruction and ambition
trade blows inside of my cognition
I'm a man on a most miserable mission
For virtue and vice have blurred my vision; go home.
I can't see you, go home.
I can't hear you, go home.
I don't need you, go home!

I'm fine, I'm fine,
No really, I'm great
I'm okay now it was just all that,
All that acid I ate!
Well denial goes miles for a man in my sad state;
but wait.
I cannot maintain. No!
