Lyrics: I’m Staying Here (and I’m Not Buying A Gun)
Album: Awake
Artist: John Wesley Harding
 

I’m staying here and i’m not buying a gun
I’ll just take my trouble as it comes
I know you’ve got it in for me
But i don’t give a damn
I’d rather die while trying
Than to give up who i am
Please tell everyone
I’m staying here and i’m not buying a gun

I’m staying here and i don’t care who knows
No-one has the highs without the lows
I know prescriptions you can write me
For everything i need
But i don’t need a band-aid, doctor
Til i start to bleed
Please tell everyone
I’m staying here and i’m not buying a gun

Come on, pilgrim
Come on, pilgrim
I’m staying here and i’m not buying a gun

I’m staying here, i hope you’ve got the news
You got me and someone else confused
I know you thought i’d turn and run away
When it all went wrong
But you’ll be saying "so you’re staying"
When i say "so long"
Please tell everyone
I’m staying here and i’m not buying a gun

Come on pilgrim
Come on pilgrim
I’m staying here and i’m not buying a gun
