You Ain't Going Nowhere

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band


Clouds so swift, the rain won't lift 
gates won't close, the railing's froze. 
So get your mind off wintertime, 
you ain't going nowhere. 
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!
Buy me a flute, and a gun that shoots 
tail gates and substitutes 
strap yourself to a tree with roots, 
you ain't going nowhere 
ooooo ride me high 
tomorrow's the day my bride's gonna come 
oooo are we gonna fly 
down in the easy chair 
Well I don't care how many letters they sent 
The morning came and the morning went 
so pick up your money, and pack up your tent 
you ain't going nowhere 
ooooo ride me high 
tomorrow's the day my bride's gonna come 
oooo are we gonna fly 
down in the easy chair 
And Genghis Khan he could not keep 
all his men supplied with sleep. 
We'll climb that hill no matter how steep 
when we get up to it 
ooooo ride me high 
tomorrow's the day my bride's gonna come 
oooo are we gonna fly 
down in the easy chair 
ooooo ride me high 
tomorrow's the day my bride's gonna come 
oooo are we gonna fly 
down in the easy chair
