about

Written by Margaret Roche

Originally recorded by Maggie & Terre Roche on the album Seductive Reasoning (1975).

lyrics

I stopped to lean
At the entrance to the highway
On the leg of an underpass
And it was there that George caught up with me
We drank his pint of freedom
Down the dream

I invest my soul in company
I bet the big exchange
First of all for love of thee and
Secon'all deranged

There ought to be somethin' to fall back on
Like a knife
Or a career
Oh heavy is the heart
That bears a started life
In the dying time of year
In the dying time of year

I left my pots and plans on the landlord's stove
Was drove down through the Texas heat
Threw my love out in the street

George is...and I'm...
But George could go for me
George is wonderin' if I might
Go for him

Go to Louisianna
Rockin' a banjo on my knee
After a man that said he'd go for me

George, I'm all gone down the dream
George, I'm all gone down the dream
George, I'm all gone down the dream.
