You Ain't Going Nowhere lyrics

Clouds so swift

Rain won't lift

Gate won't close

Railings froze

Get your mind off wintertime

You ain't goin' nowhere

[Chorus:]

Whoo-ee ride me high

Tomorrow's the day

My bride's gonna come

Oh, oh are we gonna fly

Down in the easy chair

I don't care

How many letters they send

Morning came and morning went

Pack up your money

Pick up your tent

You ain't goin' nowhere

[Chorus]

Buy me a flute

And a gun that shoots

Tailgates and substitutes

Strap yourself

To a tree with roots

You ain't goin' nowhere

[Chorus]

Now Genghis Khan

He could not keep

All his kings

Supplied with sleep

We'll climb that hill no matter how steep

When we get up to it

[Chorus]
