Greensboro Woman

By townes van zandt

Greensboro woman don't you smile on me

I do not feel like being comforted

And anyway i'll be home soon

For once is someone waitin' there

And if you don't mind

I just think on her instead

Your face, she's a picture, babe

Pictures ain't what i crave

I don't feel this way most generally

I just pit a thousand miles 'tween me

And where my thoughts do lie

And i thank you kindly baby to kindly let me be

Your car, she's smooth and fast

Babe, your bourbon's fine

But i ain't feelin free and clear today

Texas loving laying on my mind

I couldn't do you right babe spinnin' round this way

Greensboro woman don't you smile on me

I do not feel like being comforted

And anyway i'll be home soon

For once is someone waitin' there

And if you don't mind

I just think on her instead
