Carole King Ferguson Road song lyrics

FERGUSON ROAD

by Gerry Goffin & Carole King

I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road

Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am

Yes, I'm goona wade in a cold rocky stream

So I will be sure not to give a damn

No one ever loses anybody

But someitme it's so hard to get along

I don't want to hang on to anybody

So before you say you're leaving, i'll be gone

I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road

Find myself a spot where the sun shines through

I'll throw some old mattress in the back of my bus

And get a good head start on forgetting you

You know I've never known anybody

Who could ever make me feel this way

But no one gets to own anybody

You see, I have good reason when I say

I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road

Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am

Yes, I'm goona wade in a cold rocky stream

So I will be sure not to give a damn
