Hope You Understand

John Stewart



Chorus:

I hope you understand I've a long way to go.

Hope you understand because I told you so.

Well, as the people say, I will be comin' back this

way, but until then, gal, you're on your own.



I'm not the kind of guy just for hangin' 'round.

I'm bored to tears with this old town.

Well, if you behave, hey, I'll send you a card from

Santa Fe but until then, gal, you're on your own.



(Chorus)



I'm gonna walk away. Don't you come on along.

I will be singin' a lonesome song.

It's sad but true but I've just got to get away from

you but until then, gal, you're on your own.



(Chorus)



I could never stay upon the shelf where the wind and rain are never felt

But, hey, don't cry. I'll be comin' back,

by and by, but until then, gal, you're on your own.



(Chorus)
