Let Me Die in My Footsteps Lyrics

I will not go down under the ground 'Cause somebody tells me that death's comin' round And I will not carry myself down to die When I go to my grave my head will be high
Let me die in my footsteps Before I go down under the ground
There's been rumors of thewar and wars that have been The meaning of life has been lost in the wind And some people thinkin' that the end is close by Stead of learnin' to live they are learning to die
Let me die in my footsteps Before I go down under the ground
I don't know if I'm smart but I think I can see When someone is pullin' the wool over me And if this war comes and death's all around Let me die on this land 'fore I die underground
Let me die in my footsteps Before I go down under the ground
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/let-me-die-in-my-footsteps-lyrics-bob-dylan.html ] There's always been people that have to cause fear They've been talking of the war now for many long years I have read all their statements and I've not said a word But now Lord God let my poor voice be heard
Let me die in my footsteps Before I go down under the ground
Let me drink from the waters where the mountain streams flood Let me smell of wildflowers flow free through my blood Let me sleep in your meadows with the green grassy leaves Let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace
Let me die in my footsteps Before I go down under the ground
Go out in your country where the land meets the sun See the craters and the canyons and where the waterfalls run Nevada, New mexico, Arizona, Idaho Let every state in this union seep in your souls
And you'll die in your footsteps Before you go down under the ground
