Wonderin'
Neil Young · Everybody's Rockin [1983]
My footsteps made me crazy
Baby, you've been gone so long
I'm wonderin' if you'll come home
I'm hopin' that you'll be my baby
I'm wonderin' if I'll be alone
Knowin' that I need you to save me.
I've been talking all day long
To keep my heart from sadness
Baby, you've been gone so long
I'm wonderin' if you'll come home
I'm hopin' that you'll be my baby
I'm wonderin' if I'll be alone
Knowin' that I need you to save me.
I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin',
I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin',
I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin',
I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin'.
Well, I'm knowin'
that I need you to save me
Knowin' that I need you to save me.
Knowin' that I need you to save me.
Knowin' that I need you to save me.
I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin'.

Neil Young's 'Wonderin'' appears on the 1983 album Everybody's Rockin, a record that captures his enduring commitment to rock and roll roots. During this period, Young frequently explored the intersection of traditional country rhythms and his signature electric guitar sound. The track reflects the introspective yet driving energy characteristic of his mid-eighties output, standing alongside other notable recordings from his extensive catalogue. While the album itself serves as a snapshot of his stylistic range, the song contributes to a broader narrative of his exploration into rock traditions. Young's work during this era demonstrates his ability to blend personal reflection with accessible musical structures, maintaining the raw authenticity that has defined his career for decades.
