Hear me now and use your love to listen well
'Cause I'm trying to tell you why I know
It's time for me to go
I drifted into the city to sing my songs of the gypsy life
Be free, be kind, be strong
I sang at walls and you came down to hold my head
When the concrete beat me down
And we rested high in a nest in the wall
Forgetting it all
So help me now, I do believe I am sinkin' down
Yes, I'm back on the ground and I've found
I'm bound to travel on
You've only asked me to let you know whenever I had to go
I'm trying to let you know I'll soon be gone
I want it clear and my thoughts in here
So you'll know you're not to blame
It's those cats upstairs who handle my songs
How they string me along
Lovin' someone is to love someone
Forever is the moment you're in
A woman's a world a man can rest inside
It's a love that's sown with dreams
That the city keeps tearin' on down
And can't you see what you are lovin' in me
Is my will to be free
So help me now to understand
I'm a free born man and I do love you so
But now it's time for me to go
Jerry Jeff Walker, nato Ronald Clyde Crosby, è stato un cantautore e chitarrista statunitense di grande successo negli anni '70. Conosciuto anche come Gypsy Songman, ha lasciato un'impronta significativa nel panorama musicale country, country rock, folk rock e rock and roll. La sua musica, spesso caratterizzata da testi ironici e storie di vita vissuta, ha conquistato un pubblico vasto e fedele. Tra i suoi brani più famosi ricordiamo "Mr. Bojangles", una ballata che racconta la storia di un ballerino di strada, e "Desperados Waiting for a Train", un brano diventato un classico del genere outlaw country. Walker è stato anche un importante collaboratore con altri artisti come Willie Nelson e Waylon Jennings, contribuendo a definire lo stile musicale dell'outlaw country.
