Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine - Bob Dylan Song of the Day

You never know when a Bob Dylan song hits close to home. The beauty of his songs is that you can interpret them anyway you like. This morning at work I was listening to Claudia Marshall on WFUV as she played the Blonde on Blonde Version of this song. It really struck close to home as I think of 2 people who have rejected me for the silliest of reasons. The people who produced the video below have interpreted the song as many other Dylan fans have. My take on it is quite personal. I include the video since the original studio recording as I heard this morning is there. Facebook friends can see it as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEwix-Zi0zw



You say you love me
And you’re thinkin’ of me
But you know you could be wrong
You say you told me
That you wanna hold me
But you know you’re not that strong
I just can’t do what I done before
I just can’t beg you anymore
I’m gonna let you pass
And I’ll go last
Then time will tell just who fell
And who’s been left behind
When you go your way and I go mine

You say you disturb me
And you don’t deserve me
But you know sometimes you lie
You say you’re shakin’
And you’re always achin’
But you know how hard you try
Sometimes it gets so hard to care
It can’t be this way ev’rywhere
And I’m gonna let you pass
Yes, and I’ll go last
Then time will tell just who fell
And who’s been left behind
When you go your way and I go mine

The judge, he holds a grudge
He’s gonna call on you
But he’s badly built
And he walks on stilts
Watch out he don’t fall on you

You say you’re sorry
For tellin’ stories
That you know I believe are true
You say ya got some
Other kinda lover
And yes, I believe you do
You say my kisses are not like his
But this time I’m not gonna tell you why that is
I’m just gonna let you pass
Yes, and I’ll go last
Then time will tell who fell
And who’s been left behind
When you go your way and I go mine
