There were so many small voices that day

They said, "Where you going, man? Tryin' to get away?"

Said, "I don't know, but if I did, I'm gon' get away slow

Days are getting longer 'round here, won't let you go"

Said, "Won't let you go"

Well, the seasons stopped draggin' their feet

A little ways back down the track

There's wolves out in the world now, boys

Better watch your back

Said, "Better watch your back"

'Cause I don't wanna wait for spring

Don't wanna wait for anything

Maybe if it could slow down a minute

Maybe I'll wait for you

Maybe I'll wait

Maybe I'll wait for you

Maybe I'll wait

Well, I said to the voices, "I'll take the long way outta here"

Well, I said it loud and I said it proud so I make a few things clear

I'm gonna put my house in order, Lord, I'm gonna get my shit together

I'm gonna roll on down this line, I said

Fuck their truth forever, man

Fuck their truth forever

'Cause I don't wanna wait for spring

Don't wanna wait for anything

Maybe if it could slow down a minute

Maybe I'll wait for you

Maybe I'll wait for you

Maybe I'll wait

Well, someone a little smarter than me

A whole lot better lookin'

Said, "Never trust the faces you see

In reflections when out walkin'

In reflections when out walkin'"

'Cause there ain't no one left to trust

When the country's swingin' right

Well, they keep the windows shut

And they beat their kids at night, Lord

They beat their kids at night

Well, every banker's got a fist

He just keeps it in his wallet

Well, they keep it tied down for the city

They shut the gates and then they lock it

They shut the gates and then they lock it

Well, my friend, forever keep

All your mysteries unshown

'Cause when the world lies down, we'll keep swingin'

With half their men unknown, I said

Half their men unknown

I'm gonna put my house in order, Lord

I'm gonna get my shit together

I'm gonna roll on down this line, I said

Fuck their truth forever, man

Fuck their truth forever

'Cause I don't wanna wait for spring

Don't wanna wait for anything

Maybe if it could slow down a minute

Maybe I'll wait for you

Maybe I'll wait for you

Maybe I'll wait

Maybe I'll wait

Maybe I'll wait
