Estimated Prophet Live at Capitol Theatre Passaic NJ April 25 1977 by The Grateful Dead Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My time coming, any old day now
Don't worry about me, no
Been so long I felt this way now
And I'm in no hurry, no
Seems so long I felt this way now
And time sure passing slow
My time coming, voices saying
And they tell me where to go
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't worry about me
No, no, don't worry about me, no
And I'm in no hurry
No, no, no, I know where to go
[Chorus]
California
Preaching on the burning shore
California
I'll be knocking on the golden door
Like an angel
Standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise
And I'm gonna shine
[Verse 2]
My time coming, any old day now
Don't worry about me, no
It's gonna be just like they say
Them voices tell me so
Been so long I felt this way now
And time sure passing slow
Still I know I lead the way now
And they tell me where to go
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't worry about me
No, no, don't worry about me, no
And I'm in no hurry
No, no, no, I know where to go
[Chorus]
California
A prophet on the burning shore
California
I'll be knocking on the golden door
Like an angel
Standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise
I know I'm gonna shine
[Bridge]
Now you've all been asleep, you would not believe me (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Them voices telling me you will soon receive me (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Shinin' on the beach, sea will part before me
(Fire wheel burning in the air)
And they will show a sign and we will rise to glory
(Way up the middle of the air)
And I'll call down thunder and speak the same
And my work fills the sky with flame
And might and glory gonna be my name
And they gonna light my way
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
My time coming, any old day now
Don't worry about me, no
Been so long I felt this way now
And time sure passing slow
This afternoon, streets turned gray
And I watch the cars below
My time coming, any old day now
Don't worry about me, no
[Chorus]
Then don't worry about me
No, no, don't worry about me, no
And I'm in no hurry
No, no, no, I know where to go
Don't worry about me
No, no, don't worry about me, no
And I'm in no hurry
No, no, no, I know where to go
[Bridge]

Don't worry about me, no
Been so long I felt this way now
And I'm in no hurry, no
Seems so long I felt this way now
And time sure passing slow
My time coming, voices saying
And they tell me where to go
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't worry about me
No, no, don't worry about me, no
And I'm in no hurry
No, no, no, I know where to go
