| Nobody's sowing no wild oats aroun | d here |
| G | D | |
| And | I'm growing roses and blowing my wildest | years |
| I do work in the field, I do play in the field |
| A | G | |
| And when it comes down to | rest, I | roll up my sleeves |
| D | |
| And bury my heart in my | chest |
| G | Em | D | |
| Like a | night of hard thinking | and mountain to | climb |
| Em | A | |
| All our | thoughts will out live us any | way |
| D | |
| Before our time |
| Well I didn't make the bed where I lie |
| But I know that somebody did |
| And I didn't make myself fall into love |
| I'm only somebody's kid |
| And I'm a dreamer without a dream |
| A drifter with no place to be |
| And yes Lord I believe in you |
| But oh Lord believe in me |
| I came in like a lamb and I left like a lion |
| And I seen what an ass I can be |
| But I looked like a giant who could spy the whole forest |
| But couldn't get through all the trees |

| G | Em | D | |
| Well | you've got my love | Now go on, let me | be |
| Em | A | |
| It's my | love that you need darlin' |
| D | |
| You don't need me |
| Well I don't want to get burned |
| I just want to shake hands with the fire |
| Cause old friends are better |
| Than two Conley lovers for hire |
| And I try to find a reason |
| That reason has left me so soon |
| A black bird in a coal black night |
| Singing and missing the moon |
| Now come back to me come back that moment of question |
| When roses were nothing but seeds |
| Cause flowers they grow old and die on the same branch and the same tree |
| Well you've got my love, |
| Now go on, let me be |
| It's my love that you need darlin' |
| You don't need me |
