Rather Be Right
I'd rather get bread for a dollar
Than get lost in every little detail
I'd rather be out building bridges
That be going through all of your mail
Yes, I'd rather you trusted me blindly
Than asked me what I'm thinking of
I'd rather not fight, but I'll do it all night
Lord, I'd rather be right than in love
So send for a judge and a lawyer
'Cause I need me some facts settled straight
You say I ain't been home all evening
But I've been here since a quarter to eight
Well, I'd rather not start a religion
But I need me some help from above
You know I'd sooner die than take an eye for an eye
But I'd rather be right than in love
Well I'd rather be singing for strangers
Than lying next to you as you sleep
I'm safe in the curves of your body
But in comfort, I find no relief
If this wind is some indication
Then the hand's come apart from the glove
The searching is sweet, but the pleasure is brief
Lord, I'd rather be right than in love
Yes, the searching is sweet, but the pleasure is brief
Lord, I'd rather be right than in love

I saw Dustin's performance at Folkie Fest (Center Moriches, LI) this afternoon. Top shelf singer/songwriter!
