The Grateful Dead
Estimated Prophet (Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY 3/9/81)
[Verse 1]
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
Rainbows end down that highway
Where ocean breezes blow
And my time coming, 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
I 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
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
Voices tell me what to say
They tell me where I'll go
My time coming, voices say
I know whеre to go

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

[Chorus]
California
A prophet on the burning shore
California
Knock, knocking on the golden door
Like an angel
Standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise
You know I'm gonna 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
And they gonna light my way, hey, hey

[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
Rainbows end down that highway
Where ocean breezes blow
My time coming, them voices say
And they tell me where I'll go

[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
I know where to go, ooh
Don't worry about me, no, no, no
Don't worry about me, no, no, no
Them voices tell me where to go
They tell me what to say, tell me where to go
Don't worry about me, no
They tell me what to say, tell me where to go
No, no, don't worry about me, no
Don't worry about me, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, ooh, ooh
Hey, no, no, ooh, ooh, ooh
Hey, don't worry about me, no, no, no
Don't worry about me, no
Don't worry about me, no
[Instrumental]
