When I were living in the country
I were working up until I fell
I only went down
My ship had already sailed
I met a girl down in Memphis
It was going well
I thought at first
She never said bye
She left when she'd knew I'd fail
And if I could understand
Might finally
get some rest at last
Would I fight to take a stand
I'd never look back
Never have to look out for the Man
When I were moving out the country
Thought my luck
came by and I was saved
Couldn't get out
I found no check in the mail
So I went up to Nashville
It was going well
but then went still
I couldn't get by
Lucky to live to tell the tal
And if I could understand
Might finally
get some rest at last
Would I fight to take a stand
I'd never look back
Never have to look out for the Man
And if I could understand
Might finally
get some rest at last
Would I fight to take a stand
I'd never look back
Never have to look out for the Man
Said never look back
Never have to look out for the Man
