Well, it ain't your job for to take care of me
I don't want your damn help anyway
Take your eyes to the road, for it's time now to go
There's a world you left waiting

And it ain't your job to take care of me
And you known it don't bother me none
Sure as each flower blooms, every flower is doomed
And we'll meet in the belly of the worm

Through the rain and snow, long have I watched you grow
As your shoulders rise up to the sky
Don't despair in it all, though I stumble and fall
Always knew: couldn't keep up forever

And it ain't your job to take care of me
And you know that it's better this way
We'll go your way and mine, for you're still in your prime
And I'm just an old fool getting older

And it ain't your job to take care of me
Pack your bags, fill your boots, don't look back
Go catch up with your quest, leave me here for to rest
And we'll meet in the belly of the worm

Through the rain and snow, long have I watched you grow
As your shoulders rise up to the sky
Don't succumb to despair, fill your lungs with the air
And we'll meet in the belly of the worm
