Winding paths through tables and glass First fall was new Now watch the summer pass So close to you Too late to keep the change Too late to pay No time to stay the same Too young to leave No pass out sign on the door set me thinking Are waitresses paying the price of their winking? While stars sit in bars and decide what they're drinking They drop by to die 'cause it's faster than sinking Too late to keep the change Too late to pay No time to stay the same Too late to keep the change Too late to pay No time to stay the same Too young to leave Find out that now was the answer To answers that you gave later She did the things that we both did before, now But who forgave her If I could stand to see her crying I would tell her not to care When she learns of all your lyin' Will she join you there? Country girl I think you're pretty Got to make you understand Have no lovers in the city Let me be your country man Got to make you understand [alternate lyrics from 1969-10-16, The Canterbury House, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. Includes additional verses from Down Down Down] Winding paths through tables and glass First fall was new Now watch the summer pass So close to you Too late to keep the change Too late to pay No time to stay the same Too young to leave No pass out sign on the door set me thinking Are waitresses paying the price of their winking? While stars sit at bars and decide what they're drinking They drop by to die 'cause it's faster than sinking Too late to keep the change Too late to pay No time to stay the same Too late to keep the change Too late to pay No time to stay the same Too young to leave Find out that now was the answer To answers that you gave later She did the things that we both did before now But who forgave her? Now you see how down you've fallen Now you hear your conscience call Thank yourself alone for stalling I'm not there to Call me a fool 'cause I need her and see her But now you're down And something inside you will tell you I'm wise to what you're spreading round If I could stand to see her crying I would tell her not to care When she learns of all your lying Will she join you there? Find out that now was the answer To answers that you gave later Country girl I think you're pretty Got to make you understand Have no lovers in the city Let me be your country man Got to make you understand Got to make you understand Country girl
