You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere

[Verse 1: Mary Chapin Carpenter]
Clouds so swift
Rain won't lift
Gate won't close
Railings froze
Get your mind off wintertime
'Cause you ain't goin' nowhere

[Chorus: Mary Chapin Carpenter, Rosanne Cash, and Shawn Colvin]
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!

[Verse 2: Rosanne Cash]
I don't care
How many letters they sent
Morning came and morning went
Pick up your money
And pack up your tent
You ain't goin' nowhere

[Chorus: Mary Chapin Carpenter, Rosanne Cash, and Shawn Colvin]
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!
[Verse 3: Shawn Colvin]
Buy me a flute
And a gun that shoots
Tailgates and substitutes
Strap yourself
To a tree with roots
You ain't goin' nowhere

[Chorus: Mary Chapin Carpenter, Rosanne Cash, and Shawn Colvin]
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!

[Verse 4: Mary Chapin Carpenter, Rosanne Cash, Shawn Colvin, All]
Genghis Khan
He could not keep
All his kings
Supplied with sleep
We'll climb that hill no matter how steep
When we get up to it

[Chorus: Mary Chapin Carpenter, Rosanne Cash, and Shawn Colvin]
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!

Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!
