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
