The Grateful Dead
Estimated Prophet (Live in Providence, RI, September 4, 1980)
[Verse 1]
My time coming, any day
Don't worry about me, no
Been so long I felt this way
And I'm in no hurry, no
Rainbows end down that highway
Where ocean breezes blow
And my time coming, the voices say
And they tell me where I'll go

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't worry about me
No, no, don't worry about me, no
And ain't in no hurry
No, no, 'cause I know where to go

[Chorus]
California
Preaching on the burning shore
California
Knocking on the golden door
Like an angel
Standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise
Well, you know I'm gonna shine
[Verse 2]
My time coming, any day
Don't worry about me, no
Been so long I felt this way
I ain't in no hurry, no
Been so long I felt this way
Now time sure passing slow
Still I know I lead the way
Them voices tell mе so

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't worry about me
No, no, don't worry about me, no
I ain't in no hurry
No, no, 'cause I know whеre to go

[Chorus]
California
A prophet on the burning shore
California
Knock, knock, knocking on the golden door
Like an angel
Standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise
Well, you know I'm gonna shine, shine
[Bridge]
You've all been asleep, you would not believe me (Ooh, ooh)
But them voices telling me you will soon receive me (Ooh, ooh)
Shining on the beach, the sea will part before me
(Fire wheel burning in the air)
You will follow me, we will rise up to glory
(Way up the middle of the air)
And I'll call down thunder and speak the same
My work fills the sky with flame
Might and glory gonna be my name
Well, they gonna light my way

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
My time coming, any day
Don't worry about me, no
Been so long I felt this way
I ain't in no hurry, no
This afternoon, streets turn gray
I watch the cars below
My time coming, any day
Don't worry about me, no

[Outro]
Don't worry about me
No, no, don't worry about me, no
I ain't in no hurry
No, no, 'cause I know where to go
Don't worry about me
No, no, don't worry about me, no
I ain't in no hurry
No, no, 'cause I know where to go
No, no, no
No, no, ooh, ooh
Don't worry about me, no, no, no, no
Ah, don't worry about me, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I know where to go
Don't worry about me
I know where to go
Don't worry about me, no
Hey
[Instrumental]
