Ain't Gonna Go to Hell for Anybody (Bob Dylan) Snowflakes falling in the crowded field and the leaves are dying Falling on the river, so cold I can shiver I can feel it on the rooftops, I see two lovers sighing Flaws in their make-up, thinking of how to break up Oh, to make a long story short my pony got caught You've got to keep on going whether you're drugged, beaten or shot Well… (I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody) I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody, oh no! (I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody) (Not today, not tonight, not tomorrow) In the nightmate chromium-blue sky you say 'Adios amigo' Pay now or leave it, calling out your black name, baby I can hear the dreaded downbeat of a battered ego Calling out your black name, breathing a hot smokestack flame, baby How do you believe that you're digging in my heart When I see you walking way with your legs spread apart Well… (I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody) (I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody) (I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody) (Not today, not tonight, not tomorrow) Smoke arises for ever, on a one-way ticket to ride A place reserved for the devil And for all of those that done evil A place of darkness and shame, you'll never return I can make believe I'm gone but I can you hear you baby Underneath the surface, no one will blame us Breaking down that cable you can hear it baby Beginning to take you, somebody will tell you Oh, but my honey won't you keep unaware I'll go on your bid but I'll try to stay aware (I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody), oh, no no! (I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody) (I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody) Not today, not tonight, not tomorrow You may believe it or not but I hear that snow a-fallin' From Boston to Allston, from Nashville to Austin You may believe it or, I can hear two lovers callin' Everyone will tell you how somebody's news been out They shot my pony down when the evil got caught Even got to keep going if you're drugged, beaten or shot Yeah… (I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody) (I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody) (I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody) Not today, not tonight, not tomorrow ========================================================================================================================== Ain't gonna go to hell for anybody / words and music by Bob Dylan.
