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 damnNo one ever loses anybody
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 goneYes, 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 youYou know I've never known anybody
Who could ever make me feel this way
Aah, but no one gets to own anybody
You see, I have good reason when I sayI'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 damnI will be sure not to give a damn
I wanna be sure not to give a damn
