I'm Goin'

Neil Young · Other Songs - Neil Young

Well, I'm goin', I'm goin'

Goin' on a downhill slide.

I'm goin', I'm goin'

Goin' on a downhill slide.

Things feel so easy

I'm never gonna change my mind.



I'm goin', I'm goin', I'm goin'.



Well, ride me babe

Hang on to my hat

Ride me babe

Hang on to my hat

I'll howl like a wolf

Scream like an alley cat.



I'm goin', I'm goin', I'm goin'.



Don't wanna change my mind.

Don't wanna reel it in.

Don't wanna stop

this slidin' honey

That's the shape I'm in.



I'm goin', I'm goin'

on a downhill slide.

Things feels so easy

I'm never gonna change my mind.



I'm goin', I'm goin', I'm goin'.



Goin', goin',

goin', goin', goin'.



I'm goin' on a downhill slide.



Watch me now, watch me now.



Goin', goin',

goin', goin', goin'.
