Words and Music © 1986 by Nick DiMauro

Nick had been getting involved in a self help type of program that ultimately opened him up to be a much more understanding human in regards to how other people feel and operate. The lyrics are an offspring from this involvement. He wrote the tune while I was working at Pam Rent A Car. I came home pissed off as usual and ready to crawl into a ball when all of a sudden I hear these great chord changes seeping out from under my bedroom door. I let him finish the song in peace. It's a real catchy number that Jerry played on (notice the "Riki Don't Lose That Number" quote in the solo) and his wife Cheryl, Nick and I sang backups. The song sticks to a form that Nick used on many of his works :
A / A / B / A / B /B / C / B outro

Of real limited interest: I played the arpeggiated chord in the tag before the second verse live as we were mixing. A few times I screwed up and missed my cue. I was a nervous squirrel back then.

lyrics

I'LL GO WITH YOU

Do I remember a kid from a while ago
Who spent his time in a box you might know
Did he emerge from a war with some inner self
The only one true foe

And now he's willing to live in a changing time
And share his life with someone new
So if you see him around could you let him know that someone might be you

And if you like me you might stay a while
And if you don't well that's OK
But if the time comes when you need a hand
You know what to say

Well I can move through a mine in a darken space
And hold your fear as I hold my own
And we can take all the turns at your own pace
And you won't be alone
Be alone

And if you like me you might stay a while
And if you don't hey, that's ok
'Cause there's a feeling I've got deep inside says
I know you'll find your way

I'll go with you
Well it isn't just a thing to say (no)
I'll go with you
Well, it's time to try a whole new way
I'll go with you
Well it's something that I've got to say (yeah)
I'll go with you

And if you like me you might stay a while
And if you don't hey, that's ok
'Cause there's a feeling I've come to trust inside says
I know you'll find your way

I'll go with you
Well it isn't just a thing to say (no)
I'll go with you
Well, it's time to try a whole new way
I'll go with you
Well it's something that I've got to say (yeah)
I'll go with you
Well, it's time to try a whole new way
I'll go with you
Well it isn't just a thing to say (no)
I'll go with you
Well, it's time to try a whole new way
I'll go with you
Well it's something that I've got to say (yeah)
I'll go with you
