Go It Alone

I'm coming over
See me down at the station
By the lane
With my hands in my pocket

Jingling a wish coin
That I stole from a fountain
That was drownin'
All the cares in the world

When I get older
Climbing up on the back porch fence
Just to see the dogs runnin'
With a ring and a question
And my shivering voice is singing
Through a crack in the window

I better go it alone...
I better go it alone

Down on the corner
See me standing
In a makeshift home
With a dust storm comin'

In a long black shadow
Pull a hammer from a coal mine
Down where your daddy was workin'
Comb my hair back
Strike a match on the bathroom wall
Where my number was written
Driving on the sidewalk
Lookin' back at the sky
It's burning in the rearview mirror

I better go it alone
I better go it alone

I'm coming over
See you down at the station
By the lane
With my hands in my pocket

Jingling a wish coin
That I stole from a fountain
That was drownin'
All the cares in the world

When I get older
Climbing up on the back fence
Pointing to the dogs standin' firm
With a ring and a question
And my choise
In a voice that was singing
Underneath the window

I better go it alone
I better go it alone

I gotta go it alone
Don't go it alone

I better go it alone
