Greensboro Woman - Townes Van Zandt

Greensboro woman, don’t you smile on me

I do not feel like being comforted

And anyway I’ll be home soon

For once there’s someone waiting there

And if you don’t mind, I’ll just think on her instead

Your face, she’s a picture, babe

Pictures ain’t what I crave

I do not feel this way most generally

I just put a thousand miles

Between me and where my thoughts do lie

And I’d thank you kindly, babe, if you kindly let me be

Your car, she’s smooth and fast

Babe, your bourbon’s fine

But I ain’t feeling free and clear today

Texas loving laying on my mind

I couldn’t do you right, babe

Spinning around this way

So Greensboro woman, don’t you smile on me

I do not feel like being comforted

And anyway I’ll be home soon

For once there’s someone waiting there

And if you don’t mind, I’ll just think on her instead
