You’ve got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend
When I was down you just stood there grinnin’
You’ve got a lotta nerve to say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on the side that’s winnin’
Positively 4th Street, 1965
I can’t feel you anymore
I can’t even touch the books you’ve read
Every time I crawl past your door
I been wishin’ I was somebody else instead
Idiot Wind, 1974
This is how I spend my days
I came to bury, not to praise
I’ll drink my fill and sleep alone
I pay in blood but not my own
Pay in Blood, 2012
I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
You’d know what a drag it is to see you
Positively 4th Street, 1965
Then time will tell
Who has fell
And who’s been left behind
When you go your way and I go mine
Most Likely You’ll Go Your Way and I’ll Go Mine, 1966
It’s a restless hungry feeling
That don’t mean no one no good
When ev’rything I’m a-sayin’
You can say it just as good
You’re right from your side
I’m right from mine
We’re both just one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behind
One Too Many Mornings, 1964
Well I’m the enemy of treason
Enemy of strife
I’m the enemy of the unlived meaningless life
I ain’t no false prophet
I just know what I know
I go where only the lonely can go
False Prophet, 2020
Mama put my guns in the ground
I can’t shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin’ down
Feels like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door, 1973
