Текст песни Let Me Die in My Footsteps - Bob Dylan

Well, 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 war and wars that have been
The meaning of life has been lost with the wind
And there's some people thinkin' that the end is close by
'Stead of learnin' to live, they are learnin' 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 wood over me

The wood
Do you want this? Do you want to put this on?
It's awful long
I mean it's not that long, but it's just that it's a drag
You know? I sing it so many times
