By townes van zandt
Greensboro woman don't you smile on me
i do not feel like being comforted
and anyway i'll be home soon
for once is someone waitin' there
and if you don't mind
i just think on her instead
your face, she's a picture, babe
pictures ain't what i crave
i don't feel this way most generally
i just pit a thousand miles 'tween me
and where my thoughts do lie
and i thank you kindly baby to kindly let me be
your car, she's smooth and fast
babe, your bourbon's fine
but i ain't feelin free and clear today
texas loving laying on my mind
i couldn't do you right babe spinnin' round this way
greensboro woman don't you smile on me
i do not feel like being comforted
and anyway i'll be home soon
for once is someone waitin' there
and if you don't mind
i just think on her instead
