Greensboro Woman

Townes Van Zandt

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
