I’m In I’m Out And I’m Gone - Ben Harper, Charlie Musselwhite

Don’t want no high rise tombstone

Gonna gather up my things

Don’t wanna hear you fussin'

If it is, or if it ain’t

If it is, or if it ain’t

And my life needs no witness

And my burden is my own

My burden is my own

I’m in, I’m out, and I’m gone

You gotta answer to somebody

You gotta answer to somebody

If you didn’t learn, then you didn’t read

Gonna live with it, gotta live with it, yeah

What’s a man to do, what’s a man to do

Gotta answer to somebody

Answer to somebody

Gotta answer, answer, yeah

And I’m in, I’m out, and I’m gone

The death row preacher

Came through the back door to greet her

Hardly can blame her

For trusting a one-armed lion-tamer

She stepped in from a storm

As dry as a bone

The preacher thought to himself

He never takes care of his own

She said «look what your prayers

Look what they’ve done to me

What can your prayers do for me?»

Preacher said, careful talking to yourself

'Cause you may be listening

Careful talking to yourself

'Cause you may be listening

I’m in, I’m out, and I’m gone
