somebody tell me where gordie went   he's way down south just living in a tent   smokes marijuana sleeps all day   somebody tell me why gordie went away      his brothers playing music in a rock and roll band   working in a basement trying to give himself a hand   he makes no money has a lot of fun   you never see that boy sitting in the sun      HOLD ON   I WANT TO WATCH THE RIVER FLOW   HOLD ON   I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT GOES   HOW COME A MAN DO WHAT HE DO, DO WHAT HE DO...      sarah's got a man and he's building a house   somebody's money gonna be their boss   build a wooden house put it on a hill   when they have a child they should call him little will      jimmy sings better than the rest of his band   but he still plays harp like a back up man   stage is getting bigger jimmy's still small   when jimmy sings he sounds ten feet tall      nobody knows when it all comes down   you make your plans and they turn out wrong   i don't mind growing old, that's just the way things go   good men just go with their hearts, when it all comes down   when it all comes down, when it all comes down...      some get married and some get religion   every other day they got to make a big decision   ride trains get plain move to california   call me on the phone you know i would have warned you      now i got a friend who knows what it means   got a hammer in his hand and he's building a dream   i asked him once how i'd ever get through   he looked me in the eyes and said, "DO WHAT YOU DO"
