I'm going down to the highway,
Gonna hitch myself a ride.
Don't know where I'm going.
I just need someplace to hide.
I'm going now. I'm going now. I'm going now.

I once had a woman...
I once had a girl.
She was just my woman,
But I was her whole world.
I'm going now.

I never wanted love,
I didn't want to take the load.
She gave me all her love,
Now I'll take the open road.
I'm going now.

I never dreamed, when I awoke with you, that I would lay back down alone,
But before the day was thru, the word came you were gone.
I sent my friends to talk to you. I sent my family too.
But each of them reported back that they could not get thru.

The wedding song I wrote for you, it was only yesterday.
It seemed to make you happy then, but now you've gone away.
The man who took you out of here has strangled up your mind.
But think about the gentle love of him you left behind.

I'll survive, I have before, but may the Gods forbid again,
And I will try, as you have asked, to simply be your friend.
I cannot say that I will wait forever for you dear,
But if I wait a day or two you know I'll wait a year.

It was on the Eve of Candlemas, when each alone must stand,
We burn the past, we start anew, we learn to live with pain.
Ah, Becky, darling, Evenstar, you're the first glow in my sky.
I never dreamed, when I awoke with you, that you could make me cry.

It's all been taken care of, everything is fine.
It's all been taken care of, everything is fine.
It's all been taken care of, everything is fine.
It's all been taken care of, everything is fine.

I thought I had some trouble so I took it to the Lord.
He gave me back the answer "Life itself is life's reward.
There's no place you can go that isn't where your're meant to be.
Remember what John Lennon said, that 'love is all we need'."

It's all been taken care of, everything is fine.

I asked the Shining Lady "What must I do to win?"
She said "Your own conversion is the place you must begin.
The Universe is friendly, the Universe is rich,
But the Universe can't reach you if all you do is bitch."

It's all been taken care of, everything is fine.

I fell down on my knees and cried "I feel misunderstood."
The Answer came a roaring "You don't listen very good.
You ask for this, you ask for that, you surely ask amiss...
The love of God Within You is the Source of all your bliss."

It's all been taken care of, everything is fine.
