John Wesley Harding - I'm Staying Here (And I'm Not Buying A Gun) lyrics

I'm staying here and I'm not buying a gun

I'll just take my trouble as it comes

I know you've got it in for me

But I don't give a damn

I'd rather die while trying

Than to give up who I am

Please tell everyone

I'm staying here and I'm not buying a gun

I'm staying here and I don't care who knows

No-one has the highs without the lows

I know prescriptions you can write me

For everything I need

But I don't need a band-aid, doctor

Til I start to bleed

Please tell everyone

I'm staying here and I'm not buying a gun

Come on, Pilgrim

Come on, Pilgrim

I'm staying here and I'm not buying a gun

I'm staying here, I hope you've got the news

You got me and someone else confused

I know you thought I'd turn and run away

When it all went wrong

But you'll be saying "so you're staying"

When I say "so long"

Please tell everyone

I'm staying here and I'm not buying a gun

Come on Pilgrim

Come On Pilgrim

I'm staying here and I'm not buying a gun
