(Dont Worry About Me)
In a small Nashville bar I bought a beer for the man / Who wrote Pancho and Lefty, but I didn't know it then / We traded stories of music and life / He had a grin on his face, and a tear in his eye / He said the years and the road will take its toll / Now that's just a matter of time / So don't you loose yourself in the things people say / Or forget what you're tryin to find
You gotta stick to what you believe in / Don't you run out on your dreams / And when you get down you gotta get yourself up / And don't you worry about me
We hung out together down on music row / In a little apartment he called his home / He looked me in the eye when I sang him my songs / Said, "when you find your soul son you'll never go wrong" / Awe your big break it seems just feels like a dream / But I can see it waitin on you / But them dreams can disappear so fast / If the dreamer don't make it come true
You gotta stick to what you believe in / Don't you run out on your dreams / And when you get down you gotta get yourself up / And don't you worry about me
We'd play roulette right there on the floor / You never could tell who'd come through his door / Ten years later I'm standing alone / But I sure miss the man who wrote Snowin on Ratone / I knew him four weeks that seemed like a lifetime / He never minded drinkin on yesterday's wine / When we parted ways, you know he was my friend / One year later his life would end
But I stuck to what I believed in / I have not run out on my dreams / So when I get down / I get myself up / Don't you worry about me
