"Pretty Soon" lyrics - NILS LOFGREN

Baby don't you worry now
I'll be coming home
Don't you cry now girl
Coming home to you darlin'
Pretty soon, pretty soon

Baby don't you fret now
Always thinking 'bout ya
Dreaming of your swell smile and soul of gold
Pretty soon, home pretty soon

Got this war to win
Yeah, some fightin' to do
Gonna take my spoils
Buy blue shiny shoes

And a happy suit to make you proud
Show our town we're back together
Shout it out loud
Just wanna please you, baby

You say now is best and to hell with the rest
Still I'm a man here baby, tryin' to pass some test
I can't explain
Heck, I don't even know what that means

You say that test darlin's already been scored
You want all my soul and body
You couldn't love me more
Well, l feel the same 'bout you

You say now is better, now is a must
You've lost all faith in the world l trust
You say pretty soon, mister, don't always come
One misstep and good lives are done
In a world with no mercy
Take what you can

Dear your words been paintin'
Picassos on my soul
Last night two friends died
I was there, you know

Sarge is screamin' at me
Think I know what to do
Take my damaged heart
Run it straight back home to you

You were always right, baby
Pretty soon is now
I'm on a plane home, sweetheart
Don't ask me how

You were always right, baby
Pretty soon is now
I'm on a plane home, dear heart
You can't ask me how

Just know I love you
And pretty soon is now
Pretty soon is now (Pretty soon)
