(5:15)<br />

By Stephen Stills, Gold Hill<br />

<br />

<br />

Forty Nine reasons all in a line<br />

All of them good ones,<br />

All of them lies.<br />

Driftin' with my lady<br />

We're oldest of friends<br />

Need a little work, and there's fences to mend.<br />

<br />

Steady girl, be my world<br />

`Till the drifter come, now she's gone.<br />

I let that man play his hand.<br />

I let them go, how was I to know?<br />

I'm down on my knees.<br />

Nobody left to please.<br />

Now it's over, they left in the spring<br />

Her and the drifter, looking for beautiful things.<br />

Steady girl, be my world<br />

`Till the drifter come, now she's gone.<br />

I let that man play his hand.<br />

I let them go, how was I to know?<br />

I'm down on my knees.<br />

Nobody left to please.<br />

On my knees,<br />

Feeling wrong<br />

Mama's gone<br />

Bye bye baby<br />

Write if you think of it, maybe.<br />

Know I love you. (Know I love you)<br />

Go if it means that much to you.<br />

Hey, but you can run, baby;<br />

If the feeling's wrong before too long it's crazy.<br />

And you're trapped, babe, an you know that's not where it's at, babe.<br />

You're just seein' things through a cat's eye, baby;<br />

That's not my old lady.<br />

Come on and tell me, baby,<br />

You better tell me, baby,<br />

Who do you,<br />

Who do you love?<br />

Time will tell us<br />

Who is trying to sell us.<br />

Bye, bye, baby,<br />

Write if you think of it, maybe.<br />

Hey, but you can run, baby.<br />

If the feeling's wrong, before too long, it's crazy. <br />

And you're trapped babe, and you know that's not where it's at baby.<br />

You're just seein' things through a cat's eye, baby;<br />

That's not my old lady.<br />

Come on and tell me, baby,<br />

You better tell me, baby,<br />

Who do you,<br />

Who do you love?
