Throw my suitcase out there, too,
Throw my troubles out the door,
I don't need them any more
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
I should have left this town this morning
But it was more than I could do.
Oh, your love comes on so strong
And I've waited all day long
For tonight when I'll be staying here with you.
Is it really any wonder
The love that a stranger might receive.
You cast your spell and I went under,
I find it so difficult to leave.
I can hear that whistle blowin',
I see that stationmaster, too,
If there's a poor boy on the street,
Then let him have my seat
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
Throw my ticket out the window,
Throw my suitcase out there, too,
Throw my troubles out the door,
I don't need them any more
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
Throw my suitcase out there, too,
Throw my troubles out the door,
I don't need them any more
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
I should have left this town this morning
But it was more than I could do.
Oh, your love comes on so strong
And I've waited all day long
For tonight when I'll be staying here with you.
Is it really any wonder
The love that a stranger might receive.
You cast your spell and I went under,
I find it so difficult to leave.
I can hear that whistle blowin',
I see that stationmaster, too,
If there's a poor boy on the street,
Then let him have my seat
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
Throw my ticket out the window,
Throw my suitcase out there, too,
Throw my troubles out the door,
I don't need them any more
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.

Second favorite Dylan album (Blood on the Tracks comes in first in my book) This could well be my very favorite Dylan album. And yet I still rate it a '1'. What a shame after such great music by World Party, Roxy Music and Koop. |
| shellbella (so california) | Posted: May 09, 2013 - 16:11 Big Fat 10!!  |
| Baketown (Maryland) | Posted: Jan 04, 2013 - 08:50 Great Album! Second favorite Dylan album (Blood on the Tracks comes in first in my book) |
| Lazarus (Bethany) | Posted: Jan 04, 2013 - 08:46 Everybody in my church loves this song... Bob Dylan has a new album out called Tempest... for more information about the new album, look here... |
| TerryS (Another SW) | Posted: Aug 31, 2012 - 17:11 Back then, this and Lay Lady Lay were the only 2 tracks that could get me to block the ramp to the underground garage until they had finished playing. |
| coy (san antonio) | Posted: Aug 31, 2012 - 17:09 who said the old goat couldn't sing ?? |
| lemmoth (NYC) | Posted: Jul 31, 2012 - 07:13 From Wiki: " Dylan was also singing with a soft, smooth, country-tinged croon, and many listeners were startled by this 'new' voice. Dylan attributed it to a break from cigarettes, but a number of friends and family members were able to draw a connection between his 'new' voice and the one he used while performing at the Ten O' Clock Scholar in Minneapolis and the Purple Onion pizza parlor in Saint Paul, during the winter and spring of 1960." |

| zenhead (Maine) | Posted: Apr 27, 2012 - 05:51 not my favorite dylan album. i never liked whatever he (or someone) did to his voice. sounds like he's trying to sing "correctly." |
| oldman (Lost in Northern Virginia) | Posted: Mar 26, 2012 - 12:26 Whats really funny is all the songs from this album are in the RP archive some have never been played but still have a 7 rating |
| martinc (Ottawa Canada) | Posted: Mar 26, 2012 - 12:22 Jeff Beck Group does my favorite version of this song. |

| GerryG | Posted: Sep 29, 2011 - 23:34 Bob Dylan is a legendary singer/songwritter. He's also a painter. Though, his works displayed in New York re billed as being “firsthand depictions of individuals, street scenes, structure and landscape" from Dylan's trips in Asia, are, as reported by some, really robbed pictures from previously released pictures. I read this here: Bob Dylan paintings may be copied from photographs. |
| colt4x5 (scrambling.) | Posted: Sep 18, 2011 - 09:42 This song is stellar. (The album ain't half bad, neither.) |
| MJdub (California) | Posted: Aug 18, 2011 - 00:32 Wait, he CAN sing? I'm very confused. |

| hopalong | Posted: Apr 30, 2010 - 08:39 You can never go wrong with Dylan :) |
| heatherchickenlady (PDX from MKE) | Posted: Mar 29, 2010 - 16:59 Just don't like him. I'm a heathen, I know. |
| macadavy (Cascadia's attic, eh?) | Posted: Jan 25, 2010 - 16:01 I kinda like Bob's Nashville period, but I remember that many were as outraged by his daring as they were when he 'plugged in' @ Newport Folk Festival. Such are the peregrinations of genius, IMHO.  |
| weevilkinevil (close to Paradise) | Posted: Jan 25, 2010 - 15:56 He sounds like a Muppett |
| drife (Golden, CO) | Posted: Jan 25, 2010 - 15:54 Always thought his singing style on this album sounded an awful lot like Mac Davis. "Oh lord its hard to be humble...." |

| Randomax (Wimberley, TX) | Posted: Aug 21, 2009 - 08:06 I wore this album out when I was a teenager....loved this phase of bob's multi-phased musical career.... |

Just didn't like as many as I had on his previous albums. Then he released an even poorer album in Self Portrait (I didn't care for New Morning either). It was a bit of a dry spell till Blood on the Tracks and Desire renewed his vision. I'd agree that Self Portrait was pretty weak but I thought this and New Morning definitely had their moments. As for Blood On The Tracks . . . a masterpiece. |
