Let Me Die In My Footsteps (Live) - Bob Dylan
I will not go down under the ground
Cause someone tells me that death's comin' 'round
An' I will not carry myself down to die
When I go to my grave my head will be high
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground
There's been rumors of war and wars that have been
The meaning of the life has been lost in the wind
And some people thinkin' that the end is close by
Stead of learnin' to live they are learning to die
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground
I don't know if I'm smart but I think I can see
When someone is pullin' the wool over me
And if this war comes and death's all around
Let me die on this land 'fore I die underground
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground
There's always been people that have to cause fear
They've been talking of the war now for many long years
I have read all their statements and I've not said a word
But now lawd god let my poor voice be heard
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground
If I had riches and rubies and crowns
I'd buy the whole world and change things around
I'd throw all the tanks and the guns in the sea
For they are mistakes of a past history
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground
Let me drink from the waters where the mountain streams flood
Let me smell of wildflowers flow free through my blood
Let me sleep in your meadows with the green grassy leaves
Let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground
Go out in your country where the land meets the sun
See the craters and the canyons where the waterfalls run
Nevada new mexico arizona idaho
Let every state in this union seep in your souls
And you'll die in your footsteps
Before you go down under the ground
