Go It Alone
JOHN ROBERT KING, MICHAEL S. SIMPSON, BECK DAVID HANSEN, JACK WHITE
I'm comin' over
See me down at the station
By the lane
With my hands in my pocket
Jingling a wish coin
That I stole from a fountain
That was drowning all the cares in the world
When I get older
Climbin' up on the back porch fence
Just to see the dogs runnin'
With a ring and a question
And my shiverin' voice is singing
Through a crack in the window
I better go it alone
Down on the corner
See me standin'
On a makeshift road
With the dust storm blowin'
In a long black shadow
Pull a hammer from a coal mine
Down where your daddy was workin'
Comb my hair back
Strike a match on a bathroom wall
Where my number was written
Drivin' on the sidewalk
Lookin' back and the sky is burning
In my rear view mirror
I better go it alone
