Lyrics

"If I were you I'd be careful," he said. "That fella at the bar's been in before."
"He's flashing cash and questions at everyone who passes through the door."
"Your name came up once or twice he was hoping we could tell him where you'd be."
"You can slip out the side door this way, buddy." He said. "Follow me"
So I figured I'd quick run down to Wilson's for the evening
And in the morning I'd bounce free

"If I were you I'd keep moving." Wilson told me, "They've got no beef with me"
It wasn't what I expected and I showed him what I meant by that then left him be
The woods were dark and eerie, but I didn't stop. I turned and headed west
The sun caught me at the river where I slid down the bank to get some rest
I planned a trip into town that evening
And that morning keep my cards close to my vest

Chorus:

Whatever it is you're selling I ain't buying
When the sun is shining I stay off the road
What I own is what I carry.
Where I go I'm the only one who knows.

If I were you I'd'a figured out by now I didn't make it but at least I got away
I'll have to pack it in in a day or so...I don't want to overstay my stay
Of mice and men and lawyers I'll take rodents for a hundred every time
They're equally intelligent and when they ask you for a dime it's just a dime
I'll amble outta town this evening
And come morning I'll be somewhere you'll never find

Chorus:
