by Bob Dylan



Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense

I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence

I've been hit too hard; I've seen too much

Nothing can heal me now, but your touch

I don't know what I'm gonna do

I was all right 'til I fell in love with you



Well my house is on fire; burning to the sky

I thought it would rain but the clouds passed by

Now I feel like I'm coming to the end of my way

But I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray

Still I don't know what I'm gonna do

I was all right 'til I fell in love with you



Boys in the street beginning to play

Girls like birds flying away

When I'm gone you will remember my name

I'm gonna win my way to wealth and fame

I don't know what I'm gonna do

I was all right 'til I fell in love with you



Junk is piling up; taking up space

My eyes feel like they're falling off my face

Sweat falling down, I'm staring at the floor

I'm thinking about that girl who won't be back no more

I don't know what I'm gonna do

I was all right 'til I fell in love with you



Well I'm tired of talking; I'm tired of trying to explain

My attempts to please you were all in vain

Tomorrow night before the sun goes down

If I'm still among the living, I'll be Dixie bound

I just don't know what I'm gonna do

I was all right 'til I fell in love with you.
