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 damn
No one ever loses anybody
but 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 gone
I'm gonna head on up to 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 you
You know i've never known anybody
who could ever make me feel this way
but no one gets to own anybody
you see, i have good reason when i say
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 damn
