I don't mean to leave you feeling defeated Nobody needs to be found out All I wanted for you was to see the evening With it's paper streets I pulled my G.M.H. or Henry Ford Up to the gutter It was midnight and you weren't so troubled then I said that nobody needs to be found out Immunity for me has always meant the road I've made good time I never meant to harm So turn out your lights and I won't know You got a real nice place And for a while I thought that I might stay You breathed me in And let a perfect stranger thin your sheets I've got a few loose ends outside of town If all goes well I'll see you round But if I don't you got my photograph You can sell it to the papers You don't need to know what I gotta do Or what the people say Cause it ain't true I got a friend he'll send you Something in the mail And if a plainclothes meets you at your door Asking about a name that you ain't heard before Try to understand you meant the world to me Just tell him you ain't seen my face before Even if he got a little proof You'll need your freedom now to remember me The way I want you to And lord I hear a motor running And lord I see those headlamps shining And lord I feel my heart is sinking Lord my ride Is waiting outside for me
