IF YOU SEE ME GETTING SMALLER 
(Jim Webb)

Waylon Jennings - 1976


 

Willie, we've been constant companions, you know the light and shade
We have spent a million dollars to find out what we made
We have made the maidens marvel with the things we do and say
Down down and out, brother, up up and away

If you see me gettin' smaller, I'm leavin'
Don't be grievin' (Don't be grievin')
Just got to get away from here
If you see me gettin' smaller, don't worry
Ain't no hurry (Ain't no hurry)
I've got the right to disappear

God bless ol' Philadelphia, they were standing in the rain
Out in front of the main point, a wet and lonely train
Who knows who they came to see, a mad man full of beer
A four piece band and a charter bus, my borderline career

If you see me gettin' smaller, I'm leavin'
Don't be grievin' (Don't be grievin')
Just got to get away from here
If you see me gettin' smaller, don't worry
Ain't no hurry (Ain't no hurry)
I've got the right to disappear
