Just Go

Boz Scaggs · My Time: The Anthology (1969-1997) [1997]

Take what you need, just leave me a key and go

I'm all out of answers except where I don't know

This hanging around is dragging us down, you know

Everything changes, I guess we let it go

Take care of yourself, you'll learn to live again

Wary but wiser in the end, perhaps, oh well

Just go

I'm all out of answers, but yes, the answers no

Here comes old chaos, now there's a friend

And he'll have us laughing in the end, but crying now

Just Go

Everything changes, oh yes, well there you go, there you go
