I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road   Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am   Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold, rocky stream   So I will be sure not to give a damn      No one ever loses anybody   But sometimes it's so hard to get along   I don't want to hang on to anybody   So before you say you're leaving, I'll be gone      I'm gonna head on up to old Ferguson Road   Find myself a spot where the sun shines through   I'll throw some old mattress in the back of my bus   And get a good head start on forgetting you      You know I've never known anybody   Who could ever make me feel this way   But no one gets to own anybody   You see, I have good reason when I say      I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road   Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am   Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold, rocky stream   So I will be sure not to give a damn
