I'm Staying Here (And I'm Not Buying A Gun)

John Wesley Harding


I'm staying here and I'm not buying a gun
I'll just take my trouble as it comes
I know you've got it in for me
But I don't give a damn
I'd rather die while trying
Than to give up who I am
Please tell everyone
I'm staying here and I'm not buying a gun

I'm staying here and I don't care who knows
No-one has the highs without the lows
I know prescriptions you can write me
For everything I need
But I don't need a band-aid, doctor
Til I start to bleed
Please tell everyone
I'm staying here and I'm not buying a gun

Come on, Pilgrim
Come on, Pilgrim
I'm staying here and I'm not buying a gun

I'm staying here, I hope you've got the news
You got me and someone else confused
I know you thought I'd turn and run away
When it all went wrong
But you'll be saying "so you're staying"
When I say "so long"
Please tell everyone
I'm staying here and I'm not buying a gun

Come on Pilgrim
Come On Pilgrim
I'm staying here and I'm not buying a gun
